I'm really hoping this is just a phase. Hoping that Apple will reduce prices of new laptops and we'll be back to normal.

Right now everybody is using Macs. Walk into the Bay Area coffee shop, you see Macs everywhere. I love that.

I build desktop software for Macs (focuslist.co). My apps are prettier than any others. They are easier and faster to use. This is the reason why people pay me $5 while they can get the job done with paper and pen.

This is thanks to Mac as a platform. Mac developers don't want to just get the job done. They want to get the job done while winning an Apple Design Award. That's why Mac apps are the best.

Take Mac away and high quality desktop apps will go away. We'll have to endure multi-platform Electron stuff. Ugh.
