Good news, everyone:

Here's hoping that they won't skip Pascal GPUs entirely when the new Mac Pro comes out next year.
We’re not going to get into exactly what stage we’re in, just that we told the team to take the time to do something really great. To do something that can be supported for a long time with customers with updates and upgrades throughout the years. We’ll take the time it takes to do that. The current Mac Pro, as we’ve said a few times, was constrained thermally and it restricted our ability to upgrade it. And for that, we’re sorry to disappoint customers who wanted that, and we’ve asked the team to go and re-architect and design something great for the future that those Mac Pro customers who want more expandability, more upgradability in the future. It’ll meet more of those needs.
I was wondering when someone would point that out.That just shows that OS X is in second place, behind Windows.

Lies, damned lies and statistics... for some jobs programmers need to use a Mac, like making apps for iPhones. For others people might just prefer to use a Mac, like coding on websites. And if you work in an office job you are probably spending some time using Windows. More interesting maybe would be hearing about Linux sysadmins using Macs in their work but haven't found that survey yet.Yes, but you are missing a key component.. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems
80+/- % of all users are using Windows.
11% use macOS.
According to the Stack Overflow survey, approximately 50% of all programmers who filled out the survey use Windows and 26.6% use macOS.
Which means, macOS is punching above it's weight, by 2x with programmers then with regular users.
This is why that poll is interesting. macOS are over represented in regards to programmers by two times.
