Oh look, somebody else bellyaching about the tech duopoly not giving half of a flying f--- about what its customers actually want, so long as said customers continue to pay out. Look, if your employer mandates Mac OS or Windows, I get it. Go raise hell about it to your supervisor a few times and if they're not interested, then you can piss and moan about MS and Apple foisting outmoded UI paradigms on a non-consenting public. Fine. Otherwise, if these are systems that you've selected and paid for of your own accord, knowing full well what that entailed, then you're just feeding the monsters and then complaining that they won't change their ways. These are profit-motivated entities, folks. Until their bottom line is impacted, and somebody spells out that it's because of Issue XYZ, they're not going to give a flying f--- about Issue XYZ. Ben Zotto, there have been options out there for decades- literally decades- that follow more flexible paradigms than the traditional desktop metaphor. Kindly consider putting your money where your mouth is, kicking Apple (and MS) to the curb, writing a public blog post explaining why so that some product engineer there understands... or otherwise perhaps just admit to yourself that they own you (not the other way around) and move on... but this thing of "I'm going to write an article complaining that a profit-driven company won't solve my problem, even though I continue to pay them not to solve my problem" has got to stop.
