I can understand why people get excited about Linux or *BSD. Infinite freedom, infinite possibilities, and a learning curve that never ends and loads you up with sunk efforts over time. Anyway, great fun!
I can understand why people get excited about MacOS. It’s shiny, oh so shiny. And it has a past that was apparently better than its present, and that still generates loyalty. It has a lot of the technical advantages of Linux / BSD, and instead of freedom, it has Veblen goods. Fine!
