> Im not some elitist 'iOS' developer

...huh? If you develop for iOS, you're an iOS developer. Where does elitism come in?

As for the computer, I wasn't complaining that you didn't call it a "desktop", I was trying to point out that the computer is called an iMac, not an Imac. Do you also call your iOS device an Iphone? And do you call Xcode xCode? These kinds of careless mis-capitalizations are a strong sign that you don't actually do much with the platform. And if you're not a serious iOS developer, then why are you trying to argue that the new computer isn't good for iOS developers?

I feel getting angry about capitalisation of a product (which some may see as being a 'grammar nazi') is very much a sign of elitism.

Looking down on me for not being a 'serious' IOS developer therefore implying I cant have opinion and voice it is doubly so.

It is not even remotely elitism to say "you don't have much experience doing iOS development, therefore you're not qualified to talk about what is or is not good hardware for doing iOS development on".

I can discuss and hold and opinion then voice it in this thread, which I did which has given me useful advice and perspective, you can just say i'm wrong and point out why possibly anchored by pointing out your experience.

Don't go low and pick on grammar then imply the person you're in discussion can't have an opinion in this hacker news thread because I'm not as serious as you and even previously calling me a lair due to my grammar not being satisfactory.

You've clearly got experience that can help people, instead of trying to make people feel small, hows about using it as an anchor for real points in a discussion and then people like me can learn something good instead of learning how to inspire this torrent of vitriol bouncing back and forth.

Good luck on your coding endeavours.

Vitriol? I think you're taking this thread far too personally.
