Look at the applications I mentioned. They are heavy-duty scientific things, and not artistic ones. The Mac has penetrated some of these, but very incompletely.

Look, I have used BSD for over 25 years on a variety of workstations (and minicomputers!). I love the system. The lack of specialized software is a real problem for me, and it simply is not cost-effective to write my own for everything I need.
