Well, I can tell all of you this, as a developer, I find it much easier to code using my Macbook pro. I also like the fact that, due to its native Unix support, I have no need to install any 3rd party tool that might destabilize my system potentially crashing it during a subversion commit. Other developers either use a linux box or a Mac (at least the ones I know).
Now I do play games, which I use my PC for. I like the flexibility to tweak my system that PC affords me (both at the hardware and software level) which is much more difficult to do with a Mac.
I'm not, like a lot of hardcore techies, brand loyal to any one company; I use whatever works the best without wanting to be inconvenienced by parts breaking down (so no, I don't own an iphone, I use an android). And, as someone that works in the tech industry, I make good enough money to be able to afford geeky toys, but like most programmers, I refuse to buy a Benz or bmw, as some ppl above have implied. Has ANYONE EVER met a developer that drove a benz or bmw? Hahaha…I think we’re too busy worrying about other things than our appearance.
Anyway, I don’t see what the big deal is. People buy electronics to meet their needs. People buy pcs to play games, work, surfing the net, etc, but I don't think I've met a Mac purchaser that actually uses their computer for anything other than work (what else is it good for anyway? You really can't play games on it, can you?). If you can afford it, then buy it…more power to you. If it doesn’t hurt anybody else, who cares?
