If we are talking developer tools, sure, they are developer oriented by definition. The overall Apple UX is clearly inheriting from the other side of the spectrum. Headless Linux is massively popular among developers for a reason, and not b

If you can't handle a terminal-only environment, or even see it as less preferable to a desktop (you can install any WM you please in 15 minutes), it seems a bit disingenuous to claim you are "more than prepared for Linux experien

They are "pretty much" not--it's the 10s of millions of non-developer consumers that drive Apple's UI/UX.

It seems that Tolkien may have liked the animation ("I recognize [Disney's] talent, but it has always seemed to me hopelessly corrupted."), just not the treatment of fairy tales in the story. It's perfectly reasonable to

Fundamentally, the history of a price has nothing to do with its future price. The laws of nature do not care if you are on a bull run. So TA is completely bunk in that regard. However, obviously many people do rely on TA, which means TA is

Likewise, it's not a poor visualization because I/you are not a visual learner, it's a poor visualization because it's a poor visualization. There's so much depth to presentation and feedback as broad concepts, and
