Personally I perceive the shift to a more and more locked down platform (appstore, gatekeeper) a betrayal of the crowd that made OSX a viable desktop alternative through early adoption. I refuse to accept that I have to sign up to the app store before I can get a compiler (xcode).
So I canned OSX for a 2014 xps13 after my most recent mbp meltdown, and finally put my money where my mouth is.
The pain is obviously when I need an iDevice simulator.
Unlike MS with its IE compatibility images, Apple hasn't yet taken steps to make this available for everyone.
