Same here, I used to build my own PCs, run linux and love fiddling with things.
Indeed Apple embodies things I used to (and in many ways still do) despise, they are so about style over substance, you get the feeling they really could polish a turd, paint it white, put a single button on it and sell millions.
Then you look at threads about people trying to install something on a windows mobile device, and have issues with where it has downloaded the file to, not having the right versions of libraries, etc...; or android devices, and some don't have the right OS version, some are locked so one app store will work and another won't, and you realise that Apple does do some things very well.
