I’ve been using the M1 MacBook Air with 16 gb of ram (although I’m switching to the M4 MacBoo Pro soon 
) with a 32" M7 Samsung Monitor (and a Microsoft Sculpt keyboard).
My previous computer was a Dell XPS 15, with the i7 and 16gb of ram, and when I switched I was blown away with the fact that a tiny fanless computer was way faster than the Dell.
I mainly do Phoenix projects with Elixir, and there the mac has power to spare. I’ve done some Flutter this year, and when running Android emulators I’ve experienced some lagging, but great overall.
When I had the Dell I was running a dual boot with Debian, and the only thing I miss is the tiling window manager. I’ve tried some mac alternatives (mainly yabai and aerospace) but they are just not it.
I normally have like 10 workspaces open, with full screen apps, and just switch between them with Contexts (one of the greatest mac apps I’ve tried, https://contexts.co/), so it doesn’t bother me that much, but I still miss it.
And for coding I’ve been using Zed. I used to use VSCode but it was noticingly slow for big projects and the vim mode, for me, fell in uncanny valley, while Zed’s feels more like the native experience.
