I use my 2019 MacBook Pro for all my development these days. For things like Node.js or Java or Python and other high-level language and IDE stuff the switch to ARM probably won't make much difference.
But I also rely on a Parallels VM environment to run Windows and Linux VMs. My development target is sometimes those platforms and I need to bench test. Sometimes I have Windows-only applications like Solidworks. (Come to think of it what about the Microsoft Office suite? Are they on-board with migrati
