Hackintosh vs Windows for video editing

Simple which one offers an easier experience and what software to use for each platform? GOAL: Ease of use, nothing uber fancy.
i am looking into getting a second HDD/SSD for hackintosh.

For ease of use, just build a Windows PC. Finding hackintosh software and drivers for new hardware (like pascal gpus) can be difficult or near impossible.

I recommend learning to use the Adobe software suite.

Yeah I run a hackintosh and it has been crippled since I got my EVGA 1080. I can get into the system but it doesn't see my graphics card as more than a projector so its running at 720 with no GPU acceleration or anything.

if you can get the software to run the way you want it on Windows then I would suggest go with that as having a hack is a full time process. The updates NORMALLY go smoothly now but not always, getting there with specific hardware is a pain, and also we cant talk about it on here to help you at all.
