> But if you do like (somewhat more) consistent UIs and a deep catalog (more than 2 in every category) of very good apps, your much better off in Mac/Windows :(

The flip side of this is that the skills and apps you learn in the open source ecosystem have staying power.

I spent a lot of time learning to use old Photoshop versions pretty well, but these days I don't have a subscription with Adobe, so those skills have been lost to its walled garden.

However, I also spent a lot of time using GIMP during that period, and I can still leverage that knowledge 15 years later for free.
