Why do most developers these days use Macs? 90% of the devs I know are using Macbook pros or airs. Whenever I look at hackathon pics it's 90% Macbooks.

Why would developers use a glorified Facebook machine?

It's a UNIX without the massive autism that usually comes along with it.

I, for one, am glad I don't have to deal with rescuing my file system every time I do a kernel upgrade.

Comfy device, good battery and optimized operating system. Great hardware and very nice screen.

But I would just as glad use an XPS 15.

Hardware specs is not everything

New OSX updates will support you current Mac hardware for many years

Apple have a working QC department that won't slip malformed products to a customer

Their customer support is fast and easy if you need to use their services

First thing Linus did with that original MacBook Air was put Fedora on it so, fuck you, OP, he doesn't use the native OS they come with.

The only reason he got one - as he's stated for many years now - is because it was small, offered great performance at the time, practically silent, very portable, and had better battery life than competing hardware at that time.

Same reason he got the Pixel when it came out, basically, and wiped it and put Fedora on that too.
