If everyone was like me, they would have 0 customers left.

I started with switching to Android, and I'm now typing this on an Asus running elementary OS after a regretful MacBook Pro buy.

They're not going anywhere, but their product are really starting to suck, and with those price tags that's unacceptable (at least to me).

The tipping point for Apple users is around $30/hour. If you make much less than that Apples advantages aren’t worth it. If yo make more than that, it’s foolish not to use Apple products. Your time is too valuable to cheap out on less productive equipment.

I find that I'm far more productive with Linux, StumpWM, emacs and a modern userland than I am with macOS, Finder, either Cocoa emacs or another Mac editor and an ancient set of BSD tools. I find that I'm more productive running Termux on my Android phone & tablets than … running nothing at all on an iPhone (unless something has changed recently).

Moreover, with open source software I have freedom, and that's worth far more to me than my hourly rate.
