My main station uses a combination of: - MacDoppler for rig control (controlling my IC-9700) - GPredict for antenna control. - GQRX for interfacing with various SDRs.
Ideally I'd be using MacDoppler for both rig *and* antenna control, but my rotator controller is served up by a RPirunning hamlib's rigctld, which MacDoppler doesn't support (even though the protocol is absurdly simple). So, I still use GPredict to do antenna control.
If you don't want to pay for MacDoppler (and it isn't particularly cheap), GPredict will also do radio control, but it does have some issues controlling dual-VFO rigs correctly.

Every now and then I get sick of dealing with Windows updates and particularly the dreaded updates and think about going back to using an Apple computer. I'd be interested in learning how many of you are using Apple computers with Apple software. Let me hear from you please.
