Oh, those who buy overpriced stuff (i.e. Apple products) cannot afford Photoshop? What are they they doing? Spending all their money on Mac products and Starbucks latte?
Once you go Mac...
Photoshop, which I used to upgrade every other release, has gone to a "rental" model, where you need to pay Adobe every month. To hell with that!
The market will jump on a good alternative, provided it still has the power of Photoshop (which is considerable).
By the way, I hang on to my Macs for years, as they seem to last about 50% longer or more than equivalent PCs. So the Total Cost of Ownership works out to be not too bad at all. (But thanks for the snide insult, anyways.)
