Why are non mac users stubborn

[Jakeus]

Why are non Mac users stubborn when it comes to using macs? Steve Jobs even said that macs are better and PC users resist buying one for some reason. Why?

I hands down can't find a use for it, more than word (which can be done on anything cheaper) or social media. Don't expect any gaming there

My issue with what your saying is that I can game on it so I just don't get it

Games on mac are pretty limited, plus you won't be getting any real DGPU unless you go for +$3000 systems

Ok but on PC there is always so much waiting isn't it worth the extra hundred dollars for mac so you get way better specs then on pc

I wouldn't call 99% of this forum stubborn, but here are some reasons I can't use a Mac (in terms of MacOS because the hardware is just no competition price/performance)

This is my personal view, don't feel like these are facts, it's simply why it wouldn't work for me personally:

I have used Macs before, so these aren't made up.

1. Lack of applications and games

2. Too simple: Advanced options are hidden deeply away

3. Not customizable enough for my likings

 

Here are some things that I like about MacOS, but these are also available on Linux for free  

1. Simple software updates

2. Unified themes

 

Not complete lists; just some quick thoughts. I didn't want to answer like a troll, so these are the honest reasons why "we stubborn PC users" (ie. me) don't use a Mac.

Mac has its uses, gaming isn't one. I have a dedicated desktop pc for hardcore hardware, and a MacBook Pro for on the move which is where I believe Apple excels, on the go computing, great battery life and performance

First because it's what we're used to, basically same reason why Mac users are so stubborn when it comes to using a pc.

Second just because Steve Jobs said that Macs are better than pc's doesn't make it true. He's was the CEO of Apple so of course that'll be his opinion.

The only thing that apple sells that actually performs is the mac pro, and even that is pretty old

Because what I want, Mac cannot offer me. That's why I go for Windows PC.

True but we can all agree that if we had piles of money we would but a Mac just for its looks and the os looks nice

I'd be willing to bet that my PC is faster than a Mac of equal value.

Macs seem faster than your average Windows laptop because they have SSDs compared to HDDs, but Macs aren't magically faster than Windows based PCs.

Not really, even if I had infinite money I would stick with Windows for the application support and customization.

Everyone who's replying is being so much nicer than I would think that if I found this question I would probs bully whoever posted

hahahahahahahahhaa ......

*sighs*

if I had piles of money I would build a ridiculously powerful gaming pc with hardline watercooling

not a underpowered mac and btw the looks of the devices and os are subjective

I like windows better

I think mac devices look boring

and the mac pro looks like a trash can

cause it is

jeez

if I had 3000 dollars

MINIMUM for the mac pro with a 6 core and a bad firepro

I would build something actually good

I have a PC with i7 6700k and m.2 ssd and a 2007 mac seems faster

Only reason for me would be:

somewhat planned obsolescence 

motherboards die first (and no warrenty coverage for that!)

stupidly expensive 

bad performance (what I want on a laptop, fuck looks if it sacrificed performance)

otherwise, MacBooks are great for me. 

 

Imacs cs are just stupidly expensive and underpowered (Canada, it's $1400 for a dual core.)

I meant after I build a hardcore PC then I buy a low end MacBook pro
