The article seems to be very lopsided and may only represent a really small percentage of Mac users - it was widely reviewed as not friendly to non-Mac native app (though performs well with Rosetta) yet he choose to ignore it?

Anyways as someone that uses 100% mac app (Final Cut Pro, Safari) for 95% of my workflow, 5% (photoshop & lightroom), I think I will have no problem with M1 at all! Cant wait!
