You obviously haven't seen the Software and Periferals Catalog for NeXT. There are hundreds of big names producing software that previously you could only find on the mac. Every program that I really use on my mac I can also get for the NeXT (example: SoftPC. I can't imagine how fast that would be). Plus lots of shareware archived on several ftp servers that I know of. Like I keep saying, there is no good argument (besides personal preference) against NeXT. And there are many arguments for it.
