> don't credit the growth of computing to Apple's aesthetic but oft-ill-designed stuff.

I'm not; I'm crediting the activity of marketing.

It's an engineering blind spot to think utility = adoption. Emacs is more powerful than MS Word; which one has more users? Which one has an organization dedicated to going around and pointing out how and where it is useful?

It's when you have utility + marketing that you get something like the computer revolution.
