First, the NeXT is easier to use in many ways than a Mac.  I think it
compares very favorably to an Amiga.  You see, the NeXT hides Unix.  No
greps, no vi, no ls is necessary (but it's all there if you want to use it).
The programmer and user works at the level of NeXTStep, which sits on top
of Unix.  It is an ideal environment for creative interface-intensive
applications.  You have a state-of-the-art object-oriented programming
environment that it extremely powerful and easy to use.  You will see
revolutionary software come out on the NeXT.  Lotus's Improv is just one
example (check out October Byte).  The NeXT software development 
environment really frees the programmer from old assumptions of limitations
(both in terms of hardware and interface) and makes him/her feel
that he/she can do just about anything.  Just one reason some NeXT
programmers are cocky and occasionally wonder over to other newsgroups
to spread the gospel :-).
