Please show me your source of information which says that MacOS is less
productive for experienced users. In fact, several studies show that Mac
users are more productive even when they have a great deal of experience.
Have you seen the Westinghouse study which showed that Mac users were
twice as productive as Windows users?

Unix as a personal computer is a non-starter. For PC tasks, nothing is
more productive. For example, if I want to open a file on my Mac, it takes
a single mouse click to open virtually any file on any of my mounted
drives. How many keystrokes do you have to type ot open an arbitrary file
nested 5 layers deep?
