I am >< close to quitting it myself, for all the reasons he mentioned. I started using OS X in '04 (on Panther) and have been using it almost exclusively until recently when the bugs of Yosemite made me run back to Linux a few times. I used to confidently recommend OS X to people as something that "just works". I can no longer do so. It's a buggy steaming pile. For me, one of the things that made OS X so easy to use was the quality of the third-party apps. Right now, I have no less than 80 third-party apps installed on my MBP. I keep telling myself that that is a LOT of money to invest, to walk away. But then I remind myself that is the "sunken cost fallacy"... I cannot get the money back. I wish that many of the same third-party apps existed for Linux. I'd be HAPPY to pay top dollar for stuff on Linux, just like I did on OS X. But at this point, it's just not there. I will go back to using Linux as my main machine, and LOTS of workarounds for the productivity apps I have on OS X. I already have a ThinkPad W530 that is an absolute beast of a machine (32GB of RAM, 3 SSDs w/2.1TB of usable space), but I may trade in my MBP for a Chromebook Pixel. At this point, it's closer to "just works" than anything Apple is offering. :/
