It's a common POV on this site and I don't get it at all. All I can figure is there are a bunch of folks who think the only useful thing you can do with computers is make software for computers, so if a computer's anything less than excellent for that specific purpose, it's just a toy. Meanwhile everything important in my actual life that involves a computer takes place on my phone (an iPhone, the greatest bogey-man for that crowd, as far as I can tell) or on some purpose-specific device of one sort or another. Zero percent of it happens on a "real" computer—their role in my personal life is entirely toy-like.
