why do developers use Macs?

All-in-ones occupy less space.
It's just that PC all-in-ones are usually shit. I mean, most of them still have 2 or 4 GB only!

Why do shills use 4chins?

it's the only device where you can triple boot without requiring legally dubious means. You can Hackintosh all you want, but a business isn't going do want to do that.

MacOS is a precious little snowflake that apparently only wants to run normally on Apple Hardware, you want to dev for Apple and for windows, why get two machines?

Buy the over priced apple shit, slap Windows on it as well, and if you even cared you can even go nuts and put Linux on it. Done. Also, iMacs are among the more attractive all in ones, albeit not among the most functional.

(That huge fucking bezel with the apple logo is the worst.)

Meanwhile Hackintoshing is easier than ever. Damn Apple for not supporting it, though, those cretins!

this. I do Android and iOS development along with some web dev and some heavy backend services in linux. Using a mac I can achieve all of that on one machine.

>>58077733
Why does Apple use Windows and Adobe?

>>58077934
>some heavy backend services
Yeah I bet you do flaming macqueer.

If any of you actually worked professionally you'd have a good understanding as to why.
We don't have all-in-ones where we work because that'd be a functional nightmare, but rather a ton of Mac laptops for the purpose that they're the lightest, longest battery, smallest of any laptop you can get. Plus being able to have Linux baked in is huge. Not much actual developement happens on it, but it's a great machine for handling all the other tasks that come a developer's way when working at a company.
The whole argument that they're Facebook machines is right because the majority of the time your doing HTTP requests to something or browsing websites/docs.
I don't have to pay a single cent for mine, and how locked down it is can be annoying but not too terribly bad since I have IT to help or find something if I can't myself.
My time working has reaffirmed that idiots buy Macs, and that "Oi they're the prettiest" is an actually argument for buying them (but that's a quote from a retarded friend).

You may want to be more specific. I work for a company that develops embedded systems and we have 0 (zero) number of Macs.

I can bring as many batteries as I need with my Thinkpad.

Eh you're probably right, but out of what's offered it's the best combination of all you'd like for a "meeting machine". I could go out and get a Thinkpad and expense it, but I'd rather not. I do next to no development on my laptop and don't have a hankering to.

unix + nice build quality
Can also easily run the big three OSs

No as in it doesn't. You can easily download Mac OS from anywhere, just use the checksum.

>>58077733

Because Windows + Linux = MacOS

Bro 0 people at my company use macs and I actually dislike people who do because they insist on using OSX and I tell them to use windows or quit because I'm not supporting their bullshit problems when everyone else on the team does not use that OS. I'll let you drown and get fired if you bring OSX bullshit into my life.

Then I would have to have a mac in order to hackintosh legally, which would be cumbersome.

The OS most used for development is Windows.

>>58082014
>Can you post a download link to an iso?
thepiratebay.se. They're signed and checksummed, so don't worry, no tampering will have been done.

There is no such thing as illegal hackintoshing, at least in America, and you wouldn't comply with the EULA by downloading it on a Mac.

Intelligent people use whatever is best for the job at hand. Sometimes that is a mac, sometimes it's windows, sometimes it's linux, etc.

To do otherwise is not smart, especially when it's for work where you don't even have to pay for the machines in question.
