Apple absolutely nails the generalist and prosumer space but leaves me baffled by their posturing towards industry adoption.
As a JAMF swilling AASP, I've lost my patience at the slaverers (it's always the webdevs) and share my opinion freely that the "Pro" in MacWhatever Pro means "an accessory for someone who considers themself a professional", not "professional-grade equipment".
I consider it part of a healthy aspirational realignment. Some move on, others try to prove me wrong. Both end up closer to their enlightenment.
Although, all it would take to flip me on iPads is something like Chromebook's Crouton, and I'd lifecycle every MacBook Air with an iPad Pro 2nd Gen and offer them in place of MacBook Pros. They're almost amazing, and it just hurts that there's either no support or no feature parity with the major creative and engineering software we license.
iPads are top notch for media and productivity, but the platform's niche utility is way outclassed by its own hardware and other products more common in industry.
