This. 10 times this. I moved to MacOS 10.3 in 2004 because the things I did professionally were almost all in Linux (which I had been running in the data center literally since 1994), and MacOS felt and acted like Linux with a nice GUI. I lived most of my life in Terminal and rarely noticed the difference between when I was ssh'd in to a server or working locally. Awesome stuff.
I doubt Windows 10's inclusion of ssh alone addresses this use case; for that you'd want a full cygwin or something. I don't know anymore - I don't use Windows for any purpose other than games on dedicated gaming computers these days. Despite Apple going backwards with each successive macOS release (probably since 10.8) it's still a much more usable OS for the majority of the things I do than Windows 10. I do like Windows 10 better than Vista and 7, though, on my current gaming computer.
