I was a dyed in the wool apple evangelist through the 90s and early 00s, I was excited about every new drop and seeing the advancement of OSX from the beginning, waiting in lines for iPhones on. Day 1.
But they just lost their way, and I can't do it anymore. Too many decisions that showed they didn't care about their professional users.
