This feeling of personalization runs deep in a desktop operating system. It\u2019s much more than wallpaper, or color schemes. My Mac is loaded with software and utilities that I have written custom for my specific use. I\u2019m not talking about general software development, but scripting, and automation which ease my everyday tasks.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This level of customization is nigh impossible on iOS devices, by design. Might sound like I\u2019m being facetious or setting up a strawman argument. In fact, I believe this capability for deep customization is the crux of the division between the iPad-only and Mac loyalist camps.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mac Users are a dying breed. I\u2019ll be a Mac-User for life but it\u2019s foolish to assume we Mac users have any weight on where computing goes from here.
