I'm not saying their OS sucks. If it were not tied to their hardware, I'd prob use it too. But because they bundle them & upcharge their hardware a lot, it just isn't worth it IMO. I'd rather move towards an open-source OS or at least one not tied to hardware.
@timewarp it’s probably because it’s so well integrated with their hardware, which is superior, that it works so well. My problem is the walled garden aspect their apps. If you don’t use standardized formats e.g. odf, it’s really useless for widespread adoption.
Yep. OS is hugely optimized to run best on Apple hardware.
