When I bought my macbook 2 years ago I was wowed with non-buggyness of everything compared to my linux (ubuntu) workstation. I like my workstation and still use it, but the macbook was an experience in which almost everything made sense e.g. no suprises with standby and wifi oddities which plagued me on ubuntu. In those 2 years I went from wowed to disappointed and the thought of "this works pretty well on linux by now". E.g. I was plagued by a wifi error (no auto reconnect) since mavericks when bluetooth was on, which tens of people could reproduce - it took Apple 9!! months to fix this.
Multiple non-deterministic freezes when clamshell/external monitors was enabled or disabled, again since mavericks, which seems to have stopped in the latest update 10.9.x though I cannot correlate this to any changelog.
And then the whole shitty experience with the forced transition from gcc to Clang as a developer.
Ergo, I can concur with the author
