Marco Arment's view on Grown Up Computing (articles.marco.org)

He's far too generous to OS X. But my experience is very similar. Once I switched, the amount of maintenance time dropped and I was more productive.

Momentum and the niceties of Apple hardware and software keep me on their platform.

Corollary: since most OSS software is a bit of a hassle to use, most OSS users (and contributors?) are teenagers, who have more time than money.

I wonder how much additional product development he could do for the cost of a housekeeper/cook.
