Is this actually the case? MacOS is in a distinct minority position in desktop/laptop usage as well as areas where people (erroneously) assume it has a significant market share, such as for developers.
- codelikeawolf 3y agoI know macOS doesn't have nearly as much market share as Windows, but we've been getting requests for a macOS version for a long time. Considering the current Windows-only version of the software has been around for 20 years, that's a lot of requests. Our software is very specialized and very expensive. We don't need to sell thousands (or even hundreds) of licenses to justify the effort. Maybe the aerospace grads wasn't the best example, mainly because I didn't go to school for aerospace. The private sector is full of space startups that need mission planning software. I don't know about you, but every dev job I've had in the past 7 years is full of people using MacBooks or laptops running Linux.
