So why do so many of you still praise Apple so much?
Compared to the competition they're pretty good. Have you had a look at the debacle that has been Windows updates lately? I say this as someone who has had to roll back security patches to stop domain controllers boot looping.

Hate, because so much obviously broken stuff doesn't get fixed; and so much obviously stupid stuff gets released.
