>>48995 My point wasn't that "I use it because it's what pros use." My point was that pros have very good reasons for using it. It's a stable, solid platform that was designed with tight hardware/software integration in mind. Its user-friendliness and superb GUI isn't just eye-candy, but really an expediency and aid to productivity. Bear in mind that the people using Macs by and large are NOT technical people, and don't want to be bogged down with the ridiculous hoops Windows and Linux force you to jump through. I could literally go on all day why the Mac platform is a better choice for photographers, graphic designers, publishing, and really all graphic arts. It's a better platform for me because I prefer it, and because it's got a lot of software that is, to me, irreplaceable and uniquely wonderful. Aperture, Quicksilver, Final Cut Pro, and Soundtrack Pro, just to name a few.
I use a Mac because I don't want to worry about my computer, just about my work. That's why it's the professional choice. For hobbyists, other platforms will suffice, I'm sure.
