It&amp;#x27;s not surprising that their market share has been slipping given that up to this point they haven&amp;#x27;t released a significant update to the MBP since 2013.&lt;p&gt;But getting to the point, the Mac ecosystem is now ingrained into open source development. Believe me I used to use a PC not too long ago and nothing would work because OS software is designed to run on top of a  NIX environment. I recently had to go through this exercise with a colleague who was in denial. But over time, it ends up the same: software built to run on Linux servers runs best under an environment that is designed more like Linux. He now owns a MBP.&lt;p&gt;So Windows is out (for non .NET devs). That leaves us with what, Linux itself as the OS? Anyone who suggests doing this either hasn&amp;#x27;t done it before or has way too much time on their hands. I use macOS because I don&amp;#x27;t have time to hunt for drivers, trying to understand an obscure error discussed in a long forum thread or having all my software no longer work just because I updated a package. I&amp;#x27;ve already tried that twice once with Gentoo and then with Ubuntu years later hoping it would be different. I know plenty of others who have as well. Ultimately we have jobs and we need to debug our own software.&lt;p&gt;Which brings us back to the Mac. I fully expect this release to be their Windows 8 moment, a beta event from which they will recover from given time for hardware to catch up. Not every release can be a stellar event. Give it time.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Mac’s share falls to five-year low</title><url>http://www.computerworld.com/article/3155088/apple-mac/macs-share-falls-to-five-year-low.html</url></story>

Looks like they&amp;#x27;re a web analytics firm. So take this with a huge grain of salt, because they can&amp;#x27;t actually see real user share, all they can see is the share of people who browse to their clients&amp;#x27; sites.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Mac’s share falls to five-year low</title><url>http://www.computerworld.com/article/3155088/apple-mac/macs-share-falls-to-five-year-low.html</url></story>
