Any kid who took it on himself or herself to really plumb the depths of Mac OS X's terminal.app would never have any trouble finding a job. A well-paying job. We will be getting powerful UNIX apps. On the productivity graphics front, we'll get Maya, the high-end 3D modelling system. For 2D, Gimp and TIFFany in a revision or two may well reach a point where they can threaten Adobe Photoshop.
Adobe better take great care in carbonizing that application.
And maybe they should think about dropping the price of their constant updates. We will never have to be expert with the command line to set up web servers. Our secretaries will be able to run Apache on their iMacs. Apple will boost its profitability by moving into the server space, an area where they have traditionally been almost invisible. Come to think of it, maybe UNIX vendors like Sun and HP need to start worrying.
