I would just caution some to not see Apple as the collection of Hipster Fanboys that have deified the company. Apple at one time was the ONLY choice for professionals (i refer to the birth of desktop publishing). When I was 16 and knocking out a monthly newsletter for my martial arts school, and subsequently selling my services to other schools. Mac and Quark Express was the logical choice. Ever since then, for me, pro software on a Mac was my preferred choice.

I agree with you that Apple has shit on its users, namely its pro users. They will pay a heavy price for this. It was those pro users that kept them from death when consumers were flocking to Windows.

Kim Jong Jobs and the rest of the "DPRA" over there need to get with it. Isolationism isnt the answer.
