Edible Apple

Check out this on-point article from Tumblr developer Marco Ament on why you should consider switching to OS X.  The article’s about a year and a half old, but the arguments still hold up today.

Mac software follows design principles that you rarely see in Windows:

• Incredible attention to detail
• Simple, clean interfaces
• Justified, focused feature design (no “kitchen sink” apps)
• Respect for the user’s time (no stealing focus, no unnecessary prompting)
• Respect for the user’s intelligence (no “we’re protecting you from this choice”)
• High quality (if it says it will do this and work this way, it will)

These principles are everywhere: from OS X itself and Apple’s other applications to the third-party shareware and freeware communities.

And that’s just the beginning.
