"Plenty of us" where plenty equals...how many? Apple was crowned as the biggest PC maker in the world this week.
Honestly, from my point of view, just myself counts as "plenty" in this context. But I'm pretty sure the number is actually higher than that. Just count up all the F/OSS ideologues who refuse to use closed-source / proprietary software as a matter of principle, for starters. And I'm guessing there are a handful of folks who don't count themselves as total GNU hippies, but still prefer to shy away from companies that sell products based around such a locked-down, proprietary, closed-off ethos.

I never said they weren't successful... I'm just saying that not everybody buys into their bullshit or likes their shitty proprietary products, that's all.
...So you've chosen to swallow someone else's bullshit line then instead? That's way better.
We may not all value the same things, that doesn't mean we need to be deliberately ignorant about the appeal others see in a product.
