Hi.  I'm a 40 plus year veteran of commercial software development, now retired.
I actually started writing commercial software in 
1966.  Open standards are our new standard.
It's taken me 30 years to accept this fact.
I found your opinions appalling and believe you should just return to using windows as your only operating system.  While I clearly understand your needs, I see no future for the roll over and play dead attitude you've taken. 
I also am a bearded person who lives in the woods and has a shotgun.  And I use openbsd and Slackware on any cheap, low powered laptop I find in dumpsters.
