   @nathansnelgrove One thing I learned long ago is that people like us who prioritize design, UI, and UX can empathize with and understand the choices made by people who prioritize other factors (e.g. raw feature count, or software being free-of-charge). But it doesn't work the other way: most people who prioritize other things can't fathom why anyone cares deeply about design/UI/UX. Thus they chalk it up to being hypnotized by marketing or something.

     Love @gruber’s take on this: https://daringfireball.net/2023/01/meanwhile_over_in_androidtown

     I was just trying to explain this to a friend who couldn’t believe I was “an Apple fanboy.” (I’m a UX and web designer for a living, so come on.) Gruber says it much better than I do.

     Adrian Cochrane repeated this.
