I was going through this article with the mental agree/disagree checklist. These would be general apple issues I get it. You want your HDMI port back and I can count the number of times on one hand that I used it on my last MacBook, and I could have gone without in every one of those cases. The reality is that trimming down the system to ports "used daily" by more than %50 of users makes sense to a fair degree - it isn't like you CANT have your hdmi interface but your going to have to carry a dongle.
The apple apps, I get that too.... I use some of them and not others and the ones I don't use feel like bloat...
Then I get to the end, and suddenly it felt like the rest of the article was "fluff" for the author to get their Docker complaint in. Docker is a self inflicted wound, it has NOTHING to do with apple... How many computer users are there vs docker users (directly)?
- mcintyre1994 8y agoHow many users use a usb-c port directly daily? I don’t have anything that can plug into one except a dongle, I don’t even know what I could buy that would make use of it - probably a faster external hard drive would? But I don’t know of anyone who makes a monitor that plugs straight into usb-c, all the other usual usb accessories are still usb2. Do new phones have usb-c plugs like the MacBook charger, I guess they probably do. So if 50% of users have a new phone and charge it with their macbook daily then you're right, otherwise I'm not so sure. What were you thinking of as the main uses of a usb-c port for >50% of users out of interest?
