Very detailed answer!

So I can understand 100% where you are coming from. Like I mentioned in the video, I really don't think Macs are superior devices in any way. It's interesting that what I enjoy most you find most annoying. And I can understand that. In an ideal world, we want companies to give us cross compatibility. That's exactly what Nadella started doing when he presumed his position at Microsoft. However, Apple has never been known to play nice with others.

The thing is, for me it's all about ease of work. Apple makes my productivity 500 times better because of the ability to transfer files back and forth to and from devices, answer my messages and calls from my phone, laptop, or even watch. The experience across the devices is seamless, and is there right out of the box. You mentioned KDE. I can't even speak on that because I haven't touched Linux in years. However when I was fooling around with Linux, it wasn't exactly an easy process to get everything set up. That was years ago though, times may have changed.

Ultimately I get why some people don't like Apple. It makes perfect sense. The truth is, they kind of monopolize their way into things. In terms of performance, yes Adobe performs very well on Windows. However FCPX (something ironically I don't use) slams Adobe Premiere in all aspects. So take that for what it's worth.

Sounds like you have some dev background. I could be wrong. And as a former hobbyist programer, I wouldn't touch Mac with a stick. My needs are completely different these days though.

Thanks for watching man!
