> Things like living in a web browser and a platform neutral IDE (I use IntelliJ for Clojure, Java, Python, PHP, and Ruby) make OS platform less impactful on using a computer.
Really? I'd think this would make the remaining things matter more. Things like:
- International text input: in OS X, out of the box, é is opt+e, e (or the now even easier: hold down e and choose é from the menu). In Windows, é is alt+0233 or something, or change your keyboard layout and relearn how to type apostrophes. Everything else related to international text input is also much nicer in OS X.
- Trackpad quality: I've yet to find a trackpad as nice as the ones that come on Mac laptops
- emacs keybindings in every text box! Anyone? ...Anyone? Maybe it's just me.
