@yhwx I’m a gamer. Macs are not for gamers. Yes, Steam does have a decent Mac game library catalogue now, but it pales in comparison to PC.

And Macs are still grossly overpriced.

JEDIT: Also, on my Android phone, this is my home screen.

Some of those are folders; some of them are not. I can’t make an iPhone look like this. And that’s just part of the many issues I have with it. I can’t set Chrome as the default browser. I can’t set Google Maps (or Waze or whatever) as the default navigation app (ie. tap an address in Contacts and it opens Google Maps).

Apple is vanilla. It’s easy to use, if you use it the way Apple intends you to use it. But that’s about the most going for it. In my opinion, beyond that it’s just hype and brand loyalty. I’ve heard several people claim that Apple is more stable, but I’ve also heard others argue the exact opposite.

JEDIT 2:

Trying to make things so that a wide cross-section of people can use a technology without reading a four-hundred page manual is not dumbing things down so that a monkey could use it. In fact, that’s pretty insulting to the people who don’t want to or can’t read that four-hundred page manual.

My point is not that Apple caters to idiots and as such people who like Apple must be so. My point is Apple is very user-friendly-centric to the point of blocking off certain customizations, both in the front end and the back end, that I desire (many of which don’t come to mind, but I could immediately point out with an iPhone in hand)—and in being so it’s simply not for me.
