sweet reading at daring fireball
John Gruber is my hero... it feels so good to agree so much. regardless of what the article is actually about (I skimmed that part).
I'm referring to section one of his article on Mark Pilgrim's switch away from the Mac, plus this:
It’s often said that you shouldn’t compare apples and oranges — generally used figuratively, but even looking at it literally you can see that it’s not true. You need to compare apples and oranges when you’re deciding what to pack in your lunch. What you can’t do is compare apples and oranges and somehow conclusively prove that one is better than the other.
Also, in the same vein as the first section: You can explain the reasons why you prefer the Mac, but can you explain why you care about those reasons? You either feel it or you don’t.
