strange, i thought caring about the way things look was part of being a designer. not only the things you create, but the things around you - is that a crime? because you're acting like it is. i have no idea why you're getting so worked up and whiny over this. i never even mentioned anything about Mac's function - which actually works pretty damn well. so now i have function AND form, where's the loss?
and with your philosophy gt, EVERYTHING is a tool. right? cars are just transportation, your clothes are just to cover your body, and your girlfriend is just for having sex... right? how boring. i want all that shit to look nice, especially something i have to spend hours staring at every day.
That hammer analogy was truly dumb. a hammer is something you keep in a drawer in your garage, it's not displayed in your house, around your furniture and a part of your everyday surroundings.
it seems like all the PC fans are always complaining about how expensive macs are and use that as an argument. well, that shouldn't even be a factor. if someone wants to spend the money that they earned themselves on something, they should be able to. it's their prerogative. don't hate on others just because you're cheap.
and what are YOU in this business for? how can you even call yourself a designer if you don't even appreciate good design and criticize others who do. i'm not saying you have to like Mac design - but anything.
