Comment Re:Linux on Mac?! (Score 1) 780

(6) I spent little to no time now on system administration for my own system (compared with 20% of my work time in Linux, with unpredictable breakages)

THIS.

I have been a linux fan since '95 or so, but as I have transitioned from system admin work to programming, I find that linux is high maintenance. Since getting a mac, my efficiency at actually getting work done has skyrocketed because I don't spend time fiddling with the latest window manager widgets. I use linux for servers and testing, but it still can't match the stability of a mac desktop.

Personally, I think anybody who uses a free service as part of their way of doing business has a screw loose.
You are putting your business at the mercy of an organization that has no contractual reason to support you

FTFY.

If you have information that is to precious to lose, don't depend on a free service. Do it yourself or at least have the common sense to make the other party contractually obligated.

This. "DOM structure matters"

If you you are making an interactive or dynamic site, having good semantic markup is essential, and in any case, you'll have to peek at the source to wire it up. If you have to peek at it, why not just write it yourself?

Once you learn your text editor well (I prefer subliime text 2) you can probably code faster than the design tools anyway. The only thing I might want a design tool for is simply for finding the color scheme I want.
