Pretty much a premium linux experience out of the box, also things like Quicklook make it easy to instantaneously view a ton of files without even opening apps from documents to media files. Especially helpful if you're going through documentation and typically there's a bunch of it in various formats. Without Quicklook, you would have to open a bunch of MS Office apps to view documentation that comes with large projects such as: design docs, release docs, test plans, design and architecture proposals, features, config docs, API design, review docs, execution plans, meeting notes, status docs, etc. These docs are typically in various file formats, so imagine having to open and alt-tabbing between MS Word, MS Excel, PDF reader, an image viewer, and powerpoint. Speaking of alt-tabbing, aside from command + tab in mac, it also has an alt + tab just for files of the same type in the form of command + back-tick (`). Also text search is better than any OS. It works faster and it looks for the text everywhere like it even searches the text you're looking for in documents in pretty much all formats like powerpoint, word doc, excel, PDF, webpages you downloaded, and even code files. Iterm which is only available for mac is the best terminal experience you can find, nothing on windows and linux comes close. Better OS-level APIs especially for graphics available for developers means that you get more productivity apps that you'll never find on win/linux like https://slidepad.app/. Ton more that I'm too lazy to type, but these are just some off the top of my head that I love about it.
