I guess the flip side of this is that you look like a fucking dork.

To their credit, Apple users save a lot of money by living rent-free in your head.

99% of Apple users are not thinking about how much better they are than other people for buying the phone or computer they did. They just bought it because it's the obvious choice and they've had good experiences with it in the past.

Every time an anti-Apple zealout busts out the spec sheets to prove why alternatives are so much better, there's about 8000 gotchas and usability issues that aren't worth the tradeoff for most people. You're free to not think the tradeoffs of Apple devices are worth it for you, but for everyone else (most people) they make the best option that puts up the minimal amount of fighting and a handful of workflows that you simply can't recreate in other ecosystems without dozens of asterisks.

Every time an Apple zealot busts out counter points to prove their purchasing choice is better there’s about 8000 gotchas of what Apple won’t let you do on their device that aren’t worth the trade off for most people. You’re free to think the tradeoffs of non-Apple devices aren’t worth it for you, but for everyone else (most people since most people don’t own an Apple device) they make the best option that puts up minimal amount of fighting to customize your device and use it how you like without restriction. A handful of workflows that you simply can’t get in the Apple ecosystems without dozens of Apple zealots telling you’re wrong for choosing something else and bragging that their choice is somehow superior.

Many people simply like one product, and many other people like another product. Almost nobody is a "fan" or a "zealot."

So… you’re just giving up entirely on responding to them in a way that doesn’t read like an emotional outburst?

an (imaginary) Apple zealot?

> of Apple zealots telling you’re wrong for choosing something else and bragging that their choice is somehow superior

Except that hardly ever happens. Unlike the opposite [as we are witnessing in this very thread].

Why are you so obsessed with Apple, though? Seems pretty weird. I mean even weirder than being an actual "Apple zealot"..

Read it however you want. Take your application of emotion out of it and I’m just responding to them by swapping words.
