I was an avid Apple user from the days of the 512k Macintosh and the Apple IIe, but Apple lost me a few years back. I still use a company-issued Mac laptop at work, because it came with the job, but it's been over five years since I've bought any Apple hardware for personal use, and I see no reason to expect that will change. This article's closing remark is apt: "When someone says 'we’ll give you the full experience', settling into that requires trust. And my trust that Apple and me are in alignment keeps fading." I do not trust Apple enough to submerge myself in their world of proprietary lock-in technology; I can't imagine trusting any corporation that much.
