I swear, they're trying to push me away

Is Apple trying to make me go back to Linux? They just keep screwing up more and more

I think a relationship with Apple is very love/hate. They do really amazing things... then shoot themselves in the foot.

A couple other recent examples:

Apple's Time Machine software won't work with an NAS enabled Airport Extreme... but it will work with their Time Capsule product (which is basically the same thing).

Charging $20 for iPod Touch apps that already exist on the iPhone...

I love Apple and all, but using their stuff has always been a double edged sword...
