More broadly, consumers are real winners with this zen-powered competition of the last few years. Intel first dropped prices aggressively and now with them shaking up the tech org it seems likely the two companies will have to fight one another for consumer dollars for years to come.

And it is still full of issues, intermittent, persistent, every OS update is a stress, every Clover/drivers update is a stress and risk and so on. Yet, for a hackintosh, it is solid.
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and I regret spending money on it ;)
I recently booted to win 10 bootcamp for some game and was shocked at how much smoother the experience was. Need to do some benchmarking but just running VS code and docker felt noticeably faster on win 10 - same machine - and Macs have terrible windows drivers
Right now I'm in some state where I somehow deleted my Ubuntu WSL vm and nothing I do will get it to reinstall so that I can use WSL again. I'm so sick of dealing with this OS. It actually reminds me of trying to get my hackintosh to work and wasting an entire weekend testing different .kexts before I could even get to doing the actual work I wanted to do (code).
With that said Catalina/Mojave have been insanely buggy and I'm dying for a middle ground between osx and windows that isn't linux. I wish cocoa was opensourced.
But at least on my 16" mbp I can open it, maybe have sound not work, docker/windowserve/kernel-task consume all of my memory for no reason and have to restart it every few days but I can usually just open it and code and not worry about breaking ancillary stuff that takes me a day or three to fix.
My system is very stable (“solid”). My usecase is web development and occasional Xcode, so ymmv.
Afterwards those red Fiats with Ferrari stickers won't do anymore.
