Applications matter.

  You're not wrong, but all the applications I care about run on Linux: - emacs - vi - zsh - st - SBCL - tmux - Inkscape - sxiv - Firefox - Gnucash - GraphicsMagick - Nethack - Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup - Minecraft Of those, only Minecraft isn't developed on Linux first (and maybe Firefox, depending on how you define that condition). I can be productive. I can read email (in emacs, of course!). I can play games. I can read documents. I can browse the Web. I feel as though my needs have been met.

    That's what makes you a representative of a tiny minority. I've spent part of a career writing software for people whose daily workflows required Photoshop, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and a dozen other supporting applications, and they always ran much better on MacOS and were far easier to use and train people to use. But even those people are still a tiny minority, where most of the world revolves around MSFT Office and hundreds of applications on Windows.
