That summed up exactly how I feel about Apple and you are absolutely right about the community being very supportive. I myself take the liberty of volunteering my help to any friend of mine who buys an apple product I have even converted tons of people from PC to Mac even my brothers whole company.

re: Pixelmator, from the description of its features on the website, I’d say I could probably match it with Corel’s (formerly JASC’s) Paint Shop Pro, currently US$40. It’s been the budget alternative to Photoshop on Windows for a decade now.

On all your other points I agree, especially about the community – and especially compared to the Linux community, the kings of “RTFM.” I think the smaller size of that community is actually an advantage when it comes to developers, who can rely on seeing a certain type of person using their product, and can cater thereto.
