I am still using OSX, and modestly enjoying it. But I feel the same way the author does. (Here is my list of complaints: http://bastibe.de/how-apple-is-failing-me.html http://bastibe.de/how-apple-is-failing-me.html )
Still, I find that OSX is a fine environment to run Unix software. Most of my computer interaction these days revolves around Emacs, a terminal and a web browser. Which is fine. It is a nice system. But really, I used to feel that OSX had a certain elegance to it that other OSes lacked. And that feeling is fading. Thus, I doubt that my next computer will come with an Apple logo. And incidentally, neither will my next smartphone or tablet.
Sad.
- taligent 14y agoSure. I thoroughly look forward to you trying out Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 8 and seeing how they compare. I think you will find that both are orders of magnitude worse than OSX. Why ? Because from a UI perspective both are complete rewrites and are reminiscent of 10.0 beta. Lot of potential but a lot of polish required as well.
- Derbasti 14y agoI know and use both Ubuntu and Windows regularly. At the moment, OSX is still my operating system of choice mainly because the hardware is seriously great. The OS itself is becoming more and more awkward to me.
- manaskarekar 14y agoUbuntu is not the only option. Look into tons of other great distros including the excellent Lubuntu. And I personally feel Windows 7 is a golden OS. Have to agree with you about Windows 8.

- recoiledsnake 14y agoThe funny thing is for people switching from other platform, rewrites are not a big concern because they're learning everything from scratch and some of the new stuff actually makes sense. For people upgrading, things being switched and moved is extremely annoying, at least at first.
