For me it's pretty simple; as a front-end developer who needs to run Photoshop, the latest, and in a stable way (Wine is not stable nor does it run the latest Photoshop on Linux) I had two choices, none of which were Linux. Windows and MacOS, now since I don't really do any gaming, but I do need Bash and Windows design decisions are questionable at best, the fact that you can't turn off updates without command-line hacking or other absurd stuff (and that updates often break drivers) I decided to go with a Mac. It's not perfect, of course, nothing is, but I'm happy and I don't see myself ever going on Linux because
- Poor app ecosystem
- You tell me "Use GIMP", but with virtually no PSD support I say no and tell that to all the designers that hand me out PSD-s to cut and they will tell you that's never happening
- Poor design decisions
- Poor driver support
- I don't want to hack in the command-line a full day to set up the thing, like I've so far had to do when trying to use Linux
Of course, this is all subjective and I by no means am talking for everyone else, but I'm quite sure my issues with Linux align with someone else's here as well.
