Which is absolutely funny when they say iOS or OS X has small bugs that are usually taken care of in days. All while Windows 8 has been out for how long before anything is fixed? :upsidedow

Wait until you get the iPhone 6. It's amazing.

Sure it has, but all the time we hear from iSheep "Go Apple, it just works".

Glad you have no problems, but seems like others have plenty of troubles.

Apple iPhone support board just within 5 hours.

Apples tend to be a better fit for people who aren't "power users" or techies AND who use a limited range of software. The biggest drawback is that there isn't nearly as much software available for it as you can get for Windows, and very very limited free software.

Windows tends to be better than Mac for techies, power users, or others who like to be able to dig down under the surface of the OS. It's also good for people who use a wider range of software, enjoy free software, are gamers, or who don't want to spend extra money because the brand is marketed as a "status symbol" (even though Mac is only a status symbol among Mac users).

Linux (and the other -ixes) is a far more stable OS than Mac or Windows, lets you dig down deeper than any other, and is very popular among coders who work on Internet-based projects. The learning curve used to be steep, but more modern flavors are easier to learn. There is more free software available for it than on a Mac, but it can be harder to install than on either of the other two OSs, unless you are using one of the newer flavors.

And Brackets works on the Mac too of course. :thumbsup

Windows computers "just work" too. The only real difference between a Mac and a Windows computer (aside from the super inflation for the same or inferior hardware in Macs) is that Mac OS comes with all drivers for all hardware pre-installed.

Is it convenient? Sure. But you also have to consider that about 20% of the base system installation is for drivers your machine will never use.

But to suggest that "it just works" on that shiny new Mac suggests that Windows computers don't, and if that were the case then MS wouldn't be dominating the desktop OS market...

At the end of the day, there is no "best". On the hardware side, you just pay more for the same exact hardware (or less powerful) and on the software side it's just a matter of preference because each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Transmit > any other ftp program in existence.

Everything you said is completely wrong.

Oh? How so?

As a programmer/developer, I have worked extensively on multiple versions of all three OSs I mentioned. I speak from experience, not propaganda.

He's probably reacting to how retarded you sounded talking about a UNIX operating system being less "power user" than Windows. I snickered a little myself, I just didn't bother to call you out. Hope that helps. :thumbsup

As a software engineer of 13+ years who's used all operating systems as a power user, I disagree with you whole heartedly.
