 of price, there's the question of ease of use. MacOSX seems to
provide a "it just works" experience, which is good, but on the other hand, if
it fails, you may have a harder time than with Linux, where you can usually
repair it. For example, sleeping a laptop, or switching to new wifi networks,
are no-brainers with a MacOSX laptop, but I've spend hours configuring linux
laptops to do that. Perhaps there's some hope and light at the end of the
tunnel, in the form of the Libre15 laptop?

Now, perhaps you will have to test your web development on a Safari browser.
Then you will need a MacOSX box to use it, and happily, MacOSX can also run
Firefox (and Chrome, etc).

I use OS X because of the better hardware and nicer GUI/UX.

After installing homebrew, MacVim, iTerm, and Chrome, I can't think of
anything major I miss from Linux/Ubuntu.

I'm mostly doing front-end development. No "Docker" stuff or anything fancy
like that.

Nicer GUI/UX is subjective. I find that the OS X GUI kills my productivity,
but others may feel the opposite. Linux is highly configurable, at least, so
you could get near-perfect OS X UI on a Linux machine.

As for the hardware: I'm running Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro laptop, and it runs
great. It boots much faster than my clean
of price, there's the question of ease of use. MacOSX seem to 
 leave a " it just works " experience, which is good, but on the early hand, if 
 it fails, you may have a arduous time than with Linux, where you can usually 
 compensate it. For example, sleeping a laptop, or switch to new wifi net, 
 are no - brainers with a MacOSX laptop, but I've spend hours configuring linux 
 laptops to do that. Perhaps there's some hope and luminosity at the end of the
