> Wouldn't this be true if you put anyone in front of an unfamiliar OS? Not in the same way, but only since Apple is very popular, so it happens often (and Apple fans like to claim things like "the devices are far superior to competitors" which irks me a little, haha). Sometimes Apple paradigms are just a little bit different than what I know well, which makes it even harder for me since the similarity can make me operate on autopilot, but my autopilot then steers me wrong. When things are drastically different its just a matter of learning (and probably forgetting, since I don't use Apple quite often enough) the new thing, which I usually find pretty unintuitive. > I summarize most of these as "I don't like the feel of it" I'd summarize all of them as "I don't like the feel of it". > "I don't like the feel of it" which is a straightforward matter of opinion, but that's a different statement then what we started with "I don't agree that they write good or intuitive (easiest to use) software, but that's just me." I really thought "I don't agree [...] but that's just me" would communicate that it's my straightforward matter of opinion. > if you had just said "I don't find their software good or intuitive", I wouldn't have bothered asking these questions You are just rephrasing what I said: "I don't agree that they write good or intuitive (easiest to use) software, but that's just me." is saying the same thing as "I don't find their software good or intuitive". Maybe I should work on my online communication skills. > I really think the model of supporting statements with reasoning makes the statements so much ire useful to read. I appreciate this. On "polarizing" issues (to the HN crowd) like Apple, Rust, Blockchain, etc. I've discovered that supporting statements don't usually accomplish much, other than to bait commenters that want to defend a counterpoint without listening (I probably shouldn't have commented in the first place)
