No, and perhaps that is why I and many others continue to be somewhat disquieted with Apple's stewardship of its Mac platform: It would take much more to make me switch. Apple would have to treat its professional users much worse than they do today. The corollary to this being, it could get much worse. The best parallel I can draw, if you'll permit a terrible political analogy, might be idealistic Bernie supporters slowly realizing they're going to end up with a choice between Clinton and Trump.

That's a bad analogy I discovered that I can write in Bernie and have a solid conscience knowing I didn't choose the corrupt politician, the rapist, the hippie Bernie wannabe who has no clue about actually running anything in government, or the always seemingly-high libertarian. - I really wanted to like Jill Stein and vote for but couldn't...I voted democrat for all other tickets in hopes that they were more progressive in general. As for the new mac stuff I've never been a mac fan, not a win fan either.. I'd much rather have my arch linux builds any day, but I'm not a hardcore gamer or graphic designer either. I'm just a laravel / elixir developer. But I do feel like Apple's lost their way there's just too much negative 'mojo' in the air, they need to pivot and embrace the hard core techies who used to love them, or they'll become irrelevant and it'll be like the 90's again. Google and microsoft have both had pretty exciting launches this year, there's lots of amazing tech going on in the world today, but when the majority of the stories are negative that can have an effect maybe not today or this quarter, but down the line in 2018 for example.
