I've read this before and I get what you are saying. From a business point of view it makes a lot of sense. I'm saying from every other point of view, it doesn't.

Are you talking about Java + Swing? :)

I like that macOS feels different from Windows and that I can load up a Linux with many more variations that all have their own personality. I don't like how web apps use my bandwidth (I pay $10 / GB on Google Fi), how they use my battery, or my CPU.

Wait, what? That is insanely expensive. I pay far less even on just 4g. Is that a normal price there?

I don't use a lot of data so my monthly phone bill is usually under $35. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

But is that something normal in the US? I live in a remote location in Europe, I pay 19 euros and download/upload well over 100gb per month.
