I obviously don't matter, but I was spending several thousand dollars every two years on Apple hardware (laptops, and before that a Mac Pro desktop before it became a small cylinder that I can't upgrade). For one person the total amount I've spent probably approaches 8-10K in the last 10 years or so. But not since the new MacBook Pro laptops. As a heavy vim user, the touchbar is an immediate dealbreaker. As a lover of mechanical keyboards (cherry MX brown both at home and at work), the keyboard is a dealbreaker. As a taker-of-photos and Lightroom/Photoshop user, the USB-C-only and dongle requirements is the final straw (although probably more tolerable than the other two problems). There are other people like me (especially on HN). And now the fact that Apple doesn't seem to care about people like myself, and that they're happy to not take my money, really makes me wonder if they've gotten too arrogant for their britches. There really is a sense of Apple waging war against its users (as the HN parody site n-gate likes to say). I feel like I'm being asked to adapt to the above annoyances - and for what, an operating system that makes it a pain to stop processes that auto-update (Adobe), that has ancient versions of GNU utilities, that has numerous competing / overlapping package managers (brew and so forth)? Sorry, no. Today I have a MS SurfaceBook (not without its problems but tolerable) and a custom build that's lightning-fast thanks to a Ryzen processor and M2 storage (a US $1600 that Apple would probably sell for $3500). For Unix I use MobaXTerm (Putty/PuttyCM/X/Cygwin/etc. all glued together) and cloud instances [edit: and CentOS VMs for work and personal projects; I don't have enough free time in my life for Linux on the desktop's high maintenance] .
