I always thought of Macs as not a good value before, but nowadays for laptops at least they seem to be relatively good.

I still find them annoyingly unintuitive, but that's probably due to lack of experience. At least they come with some (old) version of bash and support standard stuff like ssh out of the box from my understanding.

Haha yes, when I had to use a Mac once in uni it was like they made a point of doing everything just different enough from Windows to be annoying, like why are the window close buttons on the left?!
