Using a Chromebook for the first time and reflecting that given how much of my workday is in Google applications and other generic web apps this might be a perfectly adequate main computer if one isn’t doing development (on which I have no read on it).
I always thought “You’ll pry MS Office from my cold dead hands” but these days 98% of what I use it for is handled by Google Docs. (It helps that almost all docs I care about are internal and began life in Google Docs.)
Also Google seems to have discovered a revolutionary technology called a “keyboard” where you mechanically actuate a switch and it results in a character of input to your machine.

Apple should steal that.
Am I bitter? A little.
