Added a subject.
Firstly, I am not anti-X (X can be Apple, Microsoft or whatever).
Secondly, IMO, freedom of choice includes proprietary software.
Thirdly, the cited mail thread wasn't about whether X software is
good/useful/appropriate/morally right etc. It was about gelling with theme
of a conference and enough has been discussed about it. Let's not get
again into that.
Fourthly, above statement that you have quoted from the article sounds
like a nice sales slogan. It might just be a sponsored article. Even if it
isn't, one needs to take that with a pinch of salt.
E.g. how about this: "I use Linux, to develop software to make life of
Apple users easy" and write an article that justifies this?
