  1.  @anthony452  I have a better suggestion; Instead of comparing a project on one to the other, compare what happens when one doesn't work, to the other. What does it take to get back on track when things go wrong - which they inevitably will. Out of the box is great, and all, for the average use case where it does actually work, but as soon as you experience an issue you need to consider whether overcoming that hurdle is worth 'saving time' on initial setup. My experience is that the savings average out to be a cost because its very rare that a tool, for work, is used exactly how the designer intended. Designers suck at predicting every single use case, so if there is no lenience for use-cases outside the design, your product is a hassle in a way that it really doesn't need to be. In my opinion, its a matter of instant vs delayed gratification. Delayed is almost always better in the long run.

  2. I love that apples main selling point is basically 'other people use it. You want to be like them, right? RIGHT!?' 🤣

  4.  @anthony452  I always hear this take, yet, when I see someone try to do a demonstration, I never see any evidence of this 'it just works' claim... Windows, meanwhile - even if there is a holdup (which is rare), there's guaranteed to be someone in the crowd who can help solve the issue. I dunno, I just think that maybe the reason 'it works straight out of the box' is because its so damn restricted, it's like saying a rock doesn't need configuration; Like yeah, of course it doesn't, because it can't bloody do anmything...

  5. 'actually works' so does my rock... Is it really worth bragging that something works, when it only has one job; Look pretty? Come back when 'it actually works' for absolutely anything they didn't design, themselves, to keep you in their walled garden... Maybe then it'll actually be worth hearing about :/

  6. 'By far the best hardware' you don't ACTUALLY believe that, do you!?

  7. I've heard the same thing, a hundred times, said about mint.

  8. What the fuck are you doing to your pc, in this day and age, to cause regular blue screens? No offence, but that's definitely a user-issue...... You'd definitely have the same problem on other OS's. You just wouldn't see the same error screen - doesn't make it any more acceptable that your shit crashed, though :/
