During about 10 years in the late 90's, early 2000's, I was a kind of Linux zealot, with anti-MS signatures on my emails, which survive on some BBS and Usenet archives.

Nowadays with the exception of a travel netbook, I mostly run Windows or Android on my computers.

Because GNU/Linux never managed to get their act together what means to have a full stack experience for UI/UX focused developers, specially on laptops.

And I just won't pay the Apple prices for less hardware than I can get with a Thinkpad/Dell/Asus workstation laptop, usually about 500 euros cheaper.

I've heard it said, with Linux, you pay with your time, with Apple, with your money, and with Windows, you pay with your dignity.

That really explains neatly the success as standard office equipment, now that whips are out of fashion.

Sounds like Apple is the least of three evils. Too bad some people invested in programs or hardware that only run on Windows.
