During my entire life (32 years) I used windows and linux machines. Now I bought my first mac book and I would like to know what tools is nice to have to make my work easy.

I am a developer ruby on rails and use vscode, also I use the terminal a lot and the default terminal is not that great. Also I miss notepad++

Any sugestions?

Thank You

VS Code works well on macOS. I use it on my Windows work computer and my Mac home computer, and the experience is pretty much the same, aside from key bindings.

From my understanding, Emacs is easier to get up and running in macOS, though I'm not really sure what the challenges are on Windows.

vs codium is a nice alternative to vs code worth looking at. strips out the telemetry.
