Like a mental illness
Why are so many Apple fanatics like this? That has to be something worth looking into. Look how envenomed and personal this rant is. Literally the essence of schadenfreude. And over what? Because there are people that choose to buy and use a different computing product than they do.

The bitterness and bile that spews forth from Mac (and of course Linux) users towards anyone that doesnt see the world the way they do is disturbing. This is what "we all" should want to be a part of? An intolerant cabal of fascist technocrats who seek nothing less than replacing a supposed technology monopoly with one that is clearly technological, social AND political? Um, thanks, but Id prefer not to follow along with the drooling converted endlessly repeating the mantra of the Gospel according to Cupertino on web forums.
