Hi,

we are talking about developers right ? the OS/IDE/System/whatever is the tool. Developing happens in the brain, not in the tool. Any Craftsman/developer likes other tools, because of his experience or choices others made for him. That is not the reason for Apple selling that notebooks to developers.
Apple Laptops are sold because they are nice. Thats it. (apart from developing especially for that platform). If you want to use a nice tool, that looks good and feels warm Apple notebooks fit best. that does not mean they are in any kind better for the work you do.
im using openbsd on an thinpad x201 mostly without desktop
when i need graphics i use fvwm2.
the "developing" is done in console with tmux,vi,svn and other not so cool shiny stuff. I hope i am still allowed to call myself a developer while not using xdock,itunes and xcode =)
