As a longtime Mac user I'm concerned about this as well as what appears to be a waning interest at Apple in supporting the professional creative market. However, Windows is much less friendly still to the command-line user and none of the apps I depend on are available on Linux so I'm not sure what to do.

- sliverstorm 15y agoYou have a better solution?
- jaxn 15y agoWell, having used Lion for the past few months, I can say that Terminal is unaffected by the changes they are talking about. Running open source development stacks hasn't been affected. So, I don't think a solution is needed. I still believe that no one makes better hardware than Apple and their OS is the best possible system for a developer that also needs to run things like MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite, etc. Do you have needs that are not met by Lion?
