I think the point was missed since this reiterates what I stated. The analogy isn't correct.

I have nothing against OS X but why switch if there's no justification other than for the sake of doing it (unless it's to satisfy your own interest, in which case: don't complain)?

Using the above analogy: why would I move from... NYC to HK if there's no reason to do so? Why push someone or promote a change from X to Y unless there's a justified rationale for it? Change for the sake of change isn't inherently justifiable in-and-of-itself.

Pushing OS X as being generically inferior (or superior) needs justification because I don't necessarily see it.



I agree with you. I have the same feeling with Linux. I'm on Mac and don't have any real upside changing to Linux.
