Right now it doesn't really matter if Apple's products are best or not. I am contently married to the ecosystem. I only own a single PC, and it's primarily a gaming machine.

It's also quite true that Microsoft's design choices are awful. The "Ribbon" as they call it is one of the worst implementations of a toolbar ever. I still don't touch the modern UI elements of Windows 10 unless I have to. Windows exists because we have to use it to fill in the gaps. Apple may never have PC installed base, but it doesn't need it anymore. We're getting to the point where most of our daily routines can be done within the Apple ecosystem on iDevices. For me the Windows PC is niche. It's like the electric typewriter I had to whip out to do my college apps in the mid-90s.

Android is a fractured landscape with different vendors mucking up everything. Want to take a photo? It's different on an HTC, Samsung, LG, etc. There's too much inertia and no impulse for me to consider a switch.

There is nothing better.
