[QUOTE="reanjr, post: 3101517, member: 20740"] Very true, but alot of Mac apps don't seem to take advantage of it (for obvious reasons). There are two types of people: those who divide others into one of two groups and those who do not. You are obviously a member of the latter ;) In all seriousness, the Mac community does not have many people who just chose it by comparing feature sets anymore. Because of Windows dominance it draws most people like that just for the feature of "it's familiar, supports everything everyone else is using, cheaper, and easier to get support." Hell, I fall in with being a non-Linux person who likes Macs but dislikes Jobs-flavored kool-aid. I would love to be able to buy one as a second machine, but just can't make it a primary. Firstly, I'm a developer and there's just not alot of software out there for developers on Mac (unless they are developing FOR Mac). And while you can always find an app on Mac to do what you need, you don't have the huge choice of exactly which app suits you best for the task. For example, I can use different Jabber clients on Mac, but can't use GoogleTalk. I can use different code editors, but not Notepad++. I don't know how their market share has changed over the last few years, but they haven't hit a critical mass since their slump post-Win95. [/QUOTE]
