I love my Mac Pro as a desktop solution, it allows me to attach all the screens I want and it has plenty of processing power. No other Apple product can do the same thing. I love my MacBook Pro as well, but it's just an extension of my desktop. If the Mac Pro is really done, I'm moving on. I'm not bitter about this, because I had a good time as an Apple/Mac user for more than a decade. Coming from Linux, where multi-screening is still not at the level of Windows 2000, OS X provided a lot of the Unix comfort for me in a safer and much, much saner environment. It is, however, clear where Apple is going. Over the years, OS X users have been steadily disempowered. At some point in the future there will be a merge with iOS. Even though I still consider it my digital home, it feels to me like a declining platform. The real question is indeed one of alternatives. I dread going back to Linux where I'll wrestle with configuration and braindead-by-design features once again. Nothing else has stepped up in the meantime, but maybe there will be something new one day. One can only hope.
