If you're referring to the MacBook Air comment: I am very confident that the MBA is the perfect machine for me, but I am more so confident that there are people who have a much deeper understanding of the consumer hardware landscape than I do. Thus the qualifier of 'at least the prettiest': someone could very feasibly change my mind about the MBA, but I haven't seen anything else that looks quite like it. Anyway, pretty is one of those things that I learned is worth sacrificing in favour of productivity - be that in code or when I choose my OS or tools. I agree, but I don't think its so black and white (for me!) When my tools are well-crafted and attractive, I use them more frequently and with more vigor.
