You're getting downvoted because "hyper-optimizing" isn't going to let me run another VM or launch another instance of Xcode.

MacBooks and PowerBooks before them where about that 5% of power users who fell in love with their tools and preached to all their friends and family to get one too.

Now that apple has the remaining 95%, it is letting their power users down. But that is only natural, establishing a beachhead with the powerusers was "just" a genious marketing move that worked pretty well.

And they still are. Just not in their base configuration, like they have never been. I've been using their stuff since the Motorola era.

Was there any time Apple gave "ample" RAM/DISK in their base configuration? No.

If anything, now it's better than ever...
