To be perfectly honest, I don't care how open or closed is the software (and hardware) that I use - all that I care about is what I can do with it. There is no open source software that even comes close to the products I use daily to do my work... so I'm not really convinced that software being open is such a good thing for me.

It's not about open source vs. closed source.
It's about whether you can plugin other software.
You can use plugins from any software company with photoshop and you can install any program (well, nearly any
) on windows.
Microsoft should be able to forbid you to run a software that they don't like. Neither should Abode forbid you to run a plugin that you like.
Apple wants the ability to forbid you from running software of their choosing.
It's not healthy to give one company the entire control over your computer.
