I think I speak for a good chunk of the forum when I say that Apple, Microsoft, and Google's use of telemetry is absurd and unnecessary, and there's ways around it with the latter two, but Apple is hellbent on cloud-centering everything.

I back that the UI is garbage. Yes, it streamlines some tasks, but if you're not exactly Apple's demographic, there's bound to be plenty of things you have to click around for ages to find. All in all, Windows and OSX both blow, but as least Windows is somewhat customizable.

Also, prices and hardware. Fuck that. If I'm paying $2800 for a laptop, I expect more than what the Macbook Pro offers.

I somewhat agree with you, once you get off using a mac for a while, you really get to know it well. I dont really have much trouble navigating around mine. About that customization, yeah.. Apple needs to suck some dick or something, at least make it to where you can change your cursor, or maybe even the system font, maybe even the dock theme..
