Well, yeah. You know, some of the computers I've bought in the past

Non-comparable. No fundamental civil rights are infringed when I'm told
I can't burn *someone else's* American flag. My right to write software
is not infringed by my lack of a right to modify someone else's without
permission.

So? I've got code which has been broken by just about every Linux system
revision since RHEL4 or so. However, the bulk of my stuff keeps working,
and the same is true of OS X; the bulk of the code out there continues to
run.

That's backwards. Obviously, when developing, you tend to target a relatively
recent system. That doesn't mean that a version of VLC which had been built
for 10.2 wouldn't still work on 10.4. Your claim was that it was "as likely
as not" that any given upgrade would break TextMate. But all you've shown so
far is that at least one group of people who were actively updating software
for new systems released something that ran on a previous system and the
current system, but not on systems before that -- but that could be just
because they linked against that system's libraries.

Yep. But five or six revisions is getting on towards a decade, and I buy
a lot of programs that don't run for nearly that long.

Right.
Which might be a good argument against considering XP to be the basis of your
business or livelihood, unless you have some particular reason for which it's
really the best choice for you anyway.

Not particularly high -- but an editor isn't comparable to an OS (unless
it's emacs). I don't have to worry about new malware targeting my editor,
I do have to worry about new malware targeting my OS.

Yes.
But I can't see why you'd argue not just that this is a benefit, but that
it's such a huge benefit that anyone who would prefer ANY other combination
of features, values, or requirements over it is somehow objectively wrong.

Oh, sure, tons of stuff is portable. On the other hand, having suffered
through Gaim^WPidgin for years, I *love* using Adium X. Yes, it means that
my preferred chat program is OS X only. But that's a TINY price to pay
for having a user interface that doesn't make me want to stab the developers
with every kitchen implement I can find.
My photo editor of choice is OS-specific. So are a few of the graphics tools
I use, and my preferred word processor and paint program. On the other hand,
they work a lot better for me than the alternatives, so I use them.

One of the things I want is a pleasant development environment. The NextStep
design was brilliant, and I still find it pleasant to work with. I've worked
with a dozen or so UI toolkits, and this is the only one I haven't actively
hated since Intuition.

Different kinds of tools have different requirements. Open source is *a*
benefit. It is not *the* benefit. There are many cases where other things
matter more.
For editing, what I require most of all is that my editor be convenient,
flexible, and stay out of my way. If Textmate does a better job for me
than the open source alternatives, then of course I should use it. That
I might not be able to later doesn't mean I shouldn't use the best tool
I can find now.

I don't view choice of editor as really being a matter of "completely redo".
It's one of many tools I use, and if I switch, well, I use a different editor.
Whatever.
An editor that works enough better for me than an alternative will save me
an hour a day. Learning a new editor will take, say, a forty-hour week.
If I use an editor for over forty days, I'm probably ahead on the deal -- if
it really is that much nicer.

Yeah, I did actually set up samba. Three times. It was a nightmare to
get it working reliably with several different windows systems, the
documentation was crap, and it crashed fairly often. Building it is not
the hard part; *configuring* it is. Wouldn't It Be Nice if someone
shipped something that handled the basic cases ("I want to export this
filesystem to authenticated users in this local workgroup") automatically?
It may well have improved since I set it up; that was a few years back.
I did not find it a particularly enlightening experience.

It's not "half an hour". It's "two hours the first time, one hour every
time I have to redo things for some reason, and half an hour a week because
of stuff going unexpectedly wrong". Whereas, with OS X, I clicked a button,
and it worked fine, and has continued to work fine (except, of course, that
the *client* machines were still unreliable).
I don't enjoy system administration. The less time I have to spend on it,
the happier I am.
With the OS X machine, it took me half an hour to get reliable file sharing
over three different (and unrelated) protocols, only one of which I could
easily have configured myself, as well as having user authentication working
for several different kinds of clients. Yes, I know how to set up
authentication services. It's a pain, it takes time, and I don't enjoy it
or find it rewarding. My interest level in learning enough about it to
correctly set up a Windows workgroup in order to authenticate users in order
to provide shared access to files which preserves user permissions between
Mac, Windows, and BSD clients? Pretty much zero. My interest level in
having it all work with a handful of clicks on clearly labeled UI items?
Pretty high.
I used to do a bunch of this stuff myself. I'd guess it cost me 20-30
hours a year. Compare to $500... That's around $25/hour, give or take.
Now imagine that the server lasts for two years. It's now only a good
deal if I make $12.50 an hour.
Since $DAYJOB is salaried, I don't have a semantically-coherent hourly wage
anymore, but this stuff all happens in my spare time, and none of the
money-related things I do in my spare time are under $75/hour. A year's
hassle dealing with the home network costs me a lot more than a mini with
OS X server would.
