Why did you think this was good and for whom?
- SiVal 7y agoMaybe good for me. The glass is half full but rising. Like many devs, I prefer a *nix-based client, one whose features are already working (not partially left as an exercise for the user), and that has a full range of available software. Macs have been in the sweet spot for many of us, but Apple's design ethos for the Mac has switched from "passion: best computer ever" to "courage: get used to it". I suspect the thing I'll need to get used to is using something other than a Mac. So, every move made by MS and Google on their popular, mainstream platforms is a step in the right direction. Neither is a full glass yet, but if these moves prove popular, both companies might decide to take even bolder steps toward desktop Linux.
