It must be some weird aspect of human nature that causes people to extol their virtues of their choice of whatever, and trash everything else. Mac users are especially guilty of this same fanatical loyalty. When I was a teacher I used Macs a lot. I got into PC's and Windows when I realized in could build my own machines to my own specs and save some money. I first got into Linux after I discovered it was the best server solution to talk to both Macs and PCs in my mixed classroom. The best fusion was when I got to open a new junior high as the technology teacher. Most of the teaching staff was tethered to Macs, I sold the principal on the idea that I could build out my own lab with PCs, come under budget and make them video-editing capable. Now video editing is common place, but in 1998 the camcorders we could afford were analog. So the computers I built had the old Matrox Marvel card with a breakout analog to digital conversion box. Best of all I set up a Linux box and all six hundred students and staff had their own disk space with login/passwords. The Linux servers talked to both Macs and PCs.
My philosophy - use whatever works for you, if you are not satisfied change. I use Adobe Photo Shop often, so I use my windows machine for that. I've worked with Gimp, but when I want to be productive I revert to Photoshop. I use Linux for everything else. Especially my Python projects.
That junior high principal was an amazing guy. I don’t think too many principals would have taken the chance and allowed me to build 33 computers for by classroom. Below is a link to a story that shows what a remarkable man he was. It’s the story of how a little junior high in northern California shocked a national school portrait chain.
