Microsoft wants Windows Update to handle all apps
macOS has a graphical AppStore but no easy way to run an update from command line. There's third-party project - mas[1] but it's limited by Apple constantly changing APIs.

New MacBook Setup
One cute trick I've found is that you can install mas[0] (mac app store cli) and then have mas install things from the app store for you[1].
also, at least some system prefs can be set via the defaults util[2].

What are your New Build essentials?
I have a script that installs Homebrew and App Store CLI. Then it automatically installs most of the apps I need. I use homebrew to create an up to date list for this script.

How to easily migrate Homebrew formulas to another MacBook?
I mainly use the Homebrew to manage almost every app or program, even apps on the App Store using mas. It becomes a bit of a pain when I set up a new MacBook because it takes time for me to look for the list of the apps and programs on my main MacBook and install one them by one on my new MacBook.

Questions about MacOS
Most of my workflow could replicated under Mac. For the "horrible" window management I use amethyst (auto tiling) and Magnet (windows like) for search I use raycast and for software management I do use the cli with homebrew, mas and ports. The cool thing with homebrew cask you can install all programms from the web that aren't in the App Store and the App Store apps will be updated via mas. You can even update your mac with the terminal so everything like in linux.
