I have built PCs and Linux boxes from parts. I built and ran a distributed Linux cluster. I had a few flavors of Linux on a laptop at a time when it was non-trivial to do that. I can handle running Linux just fine. But now I choose not to. I have a Mac. Why? I just don’t have time for that stuff anymore. I am at a place in my life where I will gladly pay more money for a product of higher quality that saves me time because I am (1) really freaking busy and (2) not broke anymore. I need a low maintenance, high performance computing tool. Mac OS X and most of its major applications are well integrated, very high quality tools. Macs are also beautiful and shiny, and I like that as much as the next person, but it’s secondary.
(1) Why do some people prefer Macs over PCs running Linux? - Quora
It may be hard to believe for the people who know me, but I used to be a PC guy. I actually used to dislike Macs. Granted, this was back in the day, when I had the time and inclination for building my own computers, tweaking operating systems, and messing around in the registry when a virus broke through my defences. Much like the poster above, I got to a point when I simply didn’t have the energy to maintain that any more.
Interesting thread…
