> Pro designers are famously fans of Mac's, and they are certainly willing to pay a ton for lots of different types of software. That is true, and to compound to what you said earlier, Pro users are demanding and finicky, as Apple found out when it released Final Cut "Pro" X - which should have been Final Cut Prosumer. Apple lost years worth of goodwill overnight, because of shifting demographics of Apple users and Apple's own failure to balance the needs of casual, prosumers and actual video professionals. The same thing will happen to Pro designers, should Apple lose focus on attention to color accuracy and screen quality. The trouble with Linux is that it's hard to build tools for people with strong opinions, who can build their own, better, free versions of the tools when sufficiently motivated - your Git example will suffice.
