A little learning curve. Mainly the names and the Mac equivalent.
They are bullet proof.
I remember letting the grandkids play on my PCs and always having them locked up, or some other problem.
With a Mac? let them play, no worries.

I can’t remember ever using the command line on my Macs. Do they even have a command line?
True drag and drop, plug and play.
Switched in 2007 and still using those machines. Don’t feel the need to upgrade. They just keep bopping along.
No virus scan, scandisk, defrag.

Yes. The UNIX™ Terminal is a couple of key strokes away and a fully functional command line system that can give the user full control of the computer. (There are some restrictions that prevent damage to the underlying OS, but even that can be turned off.)

They do. And it works well.
