I couldn't say, I haven't used 'Doze for 20 years or Linux for 15 except
rarely in a VM.  I suppose it comes down to the question:  do you prefer
the GUI and trackpad or the CLI and keyboard?  I think it's rather harsh
to describe macOS as clunky just because you prefer the keyboard.  
If I wanted to be rude, I could describe the CLI as old fashioned.

There's no accounting for taste, eh?
