"the point is that this is the only way we can fight Apple" - that is 
completely wrong. "Charity begins at home" (c), so start looking into, say, 
Linux usability problems and solving them. I.e. your best way to fight Apple is 
to offer better gadget experience.

As I'm reading slashdot.org, I encounter more and more stories of advanced 
using switching from Linux to MacOS.

I.e. you have conveniently omitted my mentions of user experience. You have to 
understand that users value convenience much more than ideology.
