I have stopped going on the ASC (Apple Support Community) forum because of all the idiots on there who would find life threatening issues with a glass of water. I don't care what product is out there, somebody will find an issue with it and then others jump on the band waggon and repeat it amplified a hundred times. Before long you have a hate culture, which can be infectious.
I simply use the computers and make my own judgments and enjoy my computing experience. If I do have an issue, which is rare, I sort it.
Apple are in the hardware and supporting Operating System business, they also produce some Application Software for simplistic use by people who's needs (and skills?) are limited, anybody who needs more, should buy or rent properly designed professional level software from specialised software creators who make that their main focus.
I did have an issue with Lightroom which I raised on the Adobe Lr forum, the well experienced and knowledgable chap who answered my call for assistance with Lightrooms mapping module becoming excessively slow when presented with large numbers of images to have their GPS data added was surprised at my difficulties, never having attempted what I was doing, he endeavoured to help me by suggesting workarounds using additional, third party external software. Within two days the next Lr. update was released, fixed the bug and the issue disappeared completely!
The deeper I get into Lightroom CC the better I like it, it really is a capable application and together with Photoshop CC @ £8.57 a month is perfectly affordable, in my view really good value for money. Never having smoked I just checked out the price of a packet of 20 cigarettes, to my amazement they ranged from £8.36 to £9.39 per packet.
I am NOT an Apple Fanboy, but I am very definitely a very happy camper.
