>The productivity thing is just the usual bollocks. Changing OSes and development tools and so on can seem like it would be the end of the world, until one day you're forced to do it (for whatever reason), at which point you always find out that it's no more than an annoyance.
Bollocks for you maybe. We don't all have the same job needs. I absolutely need Adobe Creative Suite and several multimedia tools, as well as a full UNIX.
Neither Windows (only Adobe), not Linux (only Unix) fit the bill.
- to3m 14y agoThere's a big difference between "impossible", and merely "impossible to be productive"! The latter is what the question mentions. And when I deny that this is the case, the sort of thing I'm denying is that people who use (say) Mac OS X for developing their iOS programs would find it impossible to be productive, were they suddenly to find themselves forced into using (say) Windows to write things for the Xbox360. Oh well - perhaps my reading of the question is wrong, but this is very strongly what it implies to me.
