It is a comparison made in good faith. I'm sick and tired of being forced to use proprietary software, which means being forced to endure bugs I can't fix, and while it's not feasible to live a modern life Stallman-style, you can already get pretty far. Apple is the antithesis of this. One company shows up and makes all decisions for you, and you have no recourse, and that's it. If you don't like it, sucks to be you, go buy something else (I did).
