Linus Torvalds recently suggested* that he figured one reason that ARM hasn't managed to significantly mess around with the Intel/x86 hegemony is that there isn't yet a preponderence of ARM-based platforms that people actually use as day to day machines, developing and creating on. Devs still use x86-based platforms to create, be it for x86 itself, ARM or anything else producible on a computer.
This sort of mirrors my own sentiments (read: mild jealousy) about the explosion of developer-centric apps and processes, much benefitting from the UNIX-like shell that took place on Apple over the past half/decade or so.
As a PC user, I've often been irritated by little widgets or single-function apps that get release on Apple today, and PC maybe tomorrow or, more likely, never.
As Balmer used to say: "Developers, Developers, Developers!"
That's not changed today, nor will any time soon.

Opinion: Apple might be a money maker, but it's behind the curve on almost all of its products
- Clickbait article. Apple fails because they are in a lawsuit against Qualcomm. Funny.ArmandoEstrada
- I don't dislike Apple. They are a safe, conservative choice. Quality products.since1979

For us motion folks, watch this if you haven't yet. It's painful.
