An all too familiar story. At some point you just need to get work done without worrying about every last detail of CUPS printing a document out using Liberation Serif, and whether it looks close enough to your colleagues' printouts, etc.

I wanted a Unix machine I could use to hack together bash scripts, play flash video without jitters, and use Photoshop and Word... without constant emotional labor coercing the system to do what I needed. Apple provided the best technical solution to my problem set.

(By the way, not really a tiling window manager, but have you checked out Magnet? It's one of my favorite Mac utilities.)

Pretty much my reasoning too. I was also surprised that, once I factored in build quality, etc., the Apple was price-competitive as well.

No, but I'll check it out. I like it by the sound of it's name already. Thanks!
