Apple could care less as long as they are selling product, hence why the quality of OS X has significantly degraded over recent years. In all honesty the recent OS X updates are more about "eye candy" than productivity, coupled with a diminishment in readability due to poor choice of fonts and a reduction of contrast across the OS. In many respects I don't get what Apple are striving to achieve, I do know I don't like the direction it`s going in...
Apple has always served the consumer, and in the "lean' times Apple rapidly learnt to gain support of a specific technical minority user base. Apple then provided hardware & software that met the users need. Spin on iPhone, iPad, IOS etc. The tiles have flipped Apple no longer needs you. This now results in ever more base consumer centric hardware & software and who can blame Apple as this is a function of profitability.
OS X is slowly becoming little more than a gateway to the internet, a vehicle for social media, with Apple treating the OS as mobile, with updates that are lacking quality; never finished, never complete..
It is with deep regret that I find myself looking at alternatives, purely due to Apple`s greed strategy...
