Exactly -- if you want the software, write it.  Or buy it from someone.  Or
form your own corporation (I've always wondered a "Public Domain Software
Foundation" would be like), write a manifesto, and get people to donate
time/money into getting software that you like.  Just because hackers don't
like your machine or the company that makes it is no reason to attack them,
especially since they aren't attacking you (unless you feel that just
because it isn't written for YOUR machine, means that you are being
attacked).  So if you stop complaining and start coding, maybe you can get
the software up and running on a Mac...

Sorry, but I thought it was obvious...
(And yes, I do use a Mac from time to time, and suffer from the dearth of my
favorite editor...)
