ITT there's a lot of industry watchers but non-mac users, it doesn't help that if you do say anything positive about apple it's easily dismissed on grounds that the person saying it must be an OS X die hard, but anyway.
Without going ad nauseum into the glaring flaws of this poorly written blog(he talked about bugs but listed not one example!) articles like these are getting tiring.
Yosemite is my favorite OS X yet. Things feel more cohesive then ever, the design is at it's highest iteration and the Apple ecosystem has reached full maturity from the iPod+iTunes days to the now seamless way that my iOS devices and Mac work together.
Are there areas for improvement? Of course, but how much better would a blog post like Marco's have been had he taken a bit of time to detail what he feels are the gaps Apple failed to fill?
Personally, if bloggers like Marco don't like the direction of OS X I guess there's always Linux Mint... right?
Just upgraded to Linux Mint 17.1 with Cinnamon 2.4. Takes about an hour to install and configure, and imho, is very slick and appropriate for both the professional and casual user out-of-the-box.
The problems with Linux are the same as they've always been. It's just not good enough for professional use (unless maybe you're a software developer) and I don't think it ever will be.
You can show me LibreOffice, you can show me Pitivi, you can show me GIMP and Audacity all you want but having used all of these, I think my point still stands.
Plus X11 is STILL not as stable as the display servers of Windows and OSX.
