Well put. Very well put.
I tire of the anti-ness I read, everywhere. Anti Apple, anti Microsft, anti Android, anti iOS.
The best desktop OS doent exist, nor does the best smartphone/tablet OS, that doesn't exist either. If we could easily pick and choose the best from each, and remove the negatives from each, then you have the best OS. I gather that those that are anti, are not familiar with the other, or that their mindset or opinions are already biased.

I understand the desire to stick with iOS and that you see no need to
use Windows anymore. Apple's operating systems, both iOS and OSX, are
terrific.
What I don't understand is the implied vitriol in your comment "I will
never buy another Microsoft product again." That implies that you view
Microsoft as some sort of evil empire, which I won't argue against. But
I don't see Apple as being any more benign, other than in a "big brother
knows what's best for all the end-users" sort of way, which is hardly
benign.
In my view, they're both evil empires and we're just stuck having to
decide which one to use, or we can help blaze the paths through the
Linux wilderness of open-source operating systems and open-source software.
