OSX fan here: Everyone is completely misunderstanding our recent criticisms of Apple software.
We don't hate Apple software!
We have seen a steady decline over the last few years, and so we are expressing our concerns. This does not translate to us hating the software. We know what Apple can do when it really focuses on the quality of it's software (see OSX Snow Leopard).
I still think OSX is more stable and useable then any other OS out there. Yes there are annoyances, but they are trying to move the ball forward. The only piece I would agree has gone completely off the rails is iTunes.
OSX is still strong, and I believe Apple will right the ship. After all, Apple employees use Mac's themselves to build iOS.
Even with the problems, I still prefer OS X to anything else. Apple claims a higher standard, and everyone wants to hold them to it. They're falling short of their standard, but they're falling to a higher point than the alternatives IMO.
