Of course there is.  Apple certainly does produce good stuff, especially on
the software side.  The industry really needs as many as possible working to
counteract the MS-DOS/Intel drudgery.

Keep in mind, too, that Apple engineers get paid around 2x-3x what C= people
get.  They have larger development teams.  They leave work and play racketball
(see the timestamp on this note for proof we don't).  They even rest.  The
guy I did the A2620 with, Bob Welland, went to work for Apple....
