    When Apple introduced the compact, powerful Mac Pro desktop in 2013, it looked like the company still had the best interests of pros in mind.

ROFLCOPTER

There were pros in charge of hundreds of 5-figure editing stations using obscenities on forums after that fuckin' travesty. Yeah - the new Macbook sucks donkey balls. But Apple gave up on the "creatives" and the "professionals" on June 21, 2011.

The rift this created can't be overstated: there are still people limping along on Final Cut 7 and it's been five fuckin' years. We've been through two cats, three mountains and a beach since it was a supported product and people have been trying so hard not to go to Premiere or Media Composer that they're keeping these arcane systems running. Which hasn't been that bad because the Mac Pros sold in 2011 are still faster than the ones sold today.

But yeah. Microsoft is now selling iMacs.

If Adobe wanted to cement themselves to the creatives forever, all they'd need to do is port to Linux. We'd all go.
