My Macs and my iOS devices are neither hostile nor obstructive to me. Again, if you are confused by this, you aren't trying hard to understand. I control my Mac just fine. I've built tools from source; I run whatever I want; I can automate tasks I find tedious using the same shell tools available on Linux, and I still have access to MS Office (and no, open/FOSS "alternatives" don't work sufficiently well for me) and other COTS tools I depend on. The Mac is absolutely the right platform for me, and I don't find it limiting or broken or hostile AT ALL. And neither do millions of other folks. I also work regularly with Windows, and have a higher-end Dell XPS on my desk for that purpose. Windows is so profoundly broken and un-discoverable and inconsistent (not to mention unstable over time) that I cannot fathom choosing to use it over anything else -- and it's the only OTHER platform where I could get access to some of the tools I rely on. Linux isn't there, and hacks to try to make things like Win software run there imply a level of tedious fiddling that I'm 100% retired from. >Is this such an unreasonable opinion? I guess it depends on whether you consider an unstudied, single-POV opinion reasonable.
