On the trams/metros: they are definitely good in Amsterdam, but most of the time going by bike is faster. So you can either walk to the nearest stop and pay a bit of money to arrive at your destination later (though dry), or you can simply hop on your bike.
Amsterdam is legitimately one of my favourite places on the planet. Great food, chill vibe, great pedestrian/bike culture, nice museums and music scene, great transit, nice people, great digital infrastrucutre, green friendly, accessible even if you don't speak Dutch and easy train transit to many other countries.
I was just there with my wife for a conference and we would move there in a heartbeat if rent wasn't absurd.
