> And this recent peak in anti-apple sentiment stinks to me of the same mentality that led to Britain leaving the EU and Trump becoming president. It goes along the lines of... "This thing isn't perfect by the definition of perfect that matters to me. So I declare it to be fundamentally and irrevocably broken. It should be thrown away and everyone should do this other ill thought through thing that I like" I don't really think that is a good analogy... If I move to linux, as long as I have the tools available, I just affect myself. The move to Brexit has wider reaching effects than just personal ones. That being said, linux is becoming more and more accepted in the mainstream. MICROSOFT supports .NET Core on linux. Pretty much every language/IDE/tooling kit is supported on linux first. Most devs are probably using Macs like linux boxes anyway, with Homebrew and Macports. I think previously the barrier to entry/change was higher going from Osx to linux. That barrier is pretty much gone. linux installations, especially on current/slightly older mac hardware, is plug and play. People seem to be upset about the moves that Apple is making, and for those people (admittedly this may be a vocal minority), it's easier than ever to switch. So they are.
