I consider it responsible Capitalism to not buy products from Apple, AT&T, BP, etc... Apple has not been pro consumer or pro developer in my lifetime. They do advertise a lot.

It’s unclear what you mean by this, or what you are using as the criteria for being a pro consumer. Their stance on user privacy, especially with iPhone in comparison to android, is certainly a good example of very pro consumer attitudes.

  >It’s unclear what you mean by this, (did you read the article?) Proprietary connectors, overpriced hardware, high cost barrier to entry, closed ecosystem.

    I much prefer lightning to USB, it’s cheap and easy to become a Mac or iOS developer, and also greatly prefer the security of a closed ecosystem. And when you use your computer 2,000 hours a year the extra cost of Macs per hour of work is trivial and the benefits are great.

In Apple's case you can go back to the time before the logo changed from a rainbow to a chrome shield. The Apple II manuals were a model of readability, clarity, and personable communication. http://www.classiccmp.org/cini/pdf/Apple/Apple%20II%20Reference%20Manual%20-%20Woz.pdf http://www.classiccmp.org/cini/pdf/Apple/Apple%20II%20Refere... The change when the Mac manuals came out was day-to-night.
