Apple have several core user bases, "creatives" have always been one of them - i'm not implying it's the main one in this age of plenty they're enjoying at the moment but it's seriously influential. The old cliche of hipster Mac users came about for a reason. Adobe makes many of the products these people rely on to make a living, so seeing Mum & Dad fighting is always going to be hard. My main point is that Apple are pissing off large chunks of previously loyal customers and betting the farm on the mass market - definitely a good move if they remain king of the hill but also an opportunity for shrewd businesses to service those disillusioned communities. Ditto Gruber's blog.
