- rwhitman 10y agoGeographically once you get outside of major tech hubs, the Mac's market share as a developer workstation is quite tiny. I remember one time I was sent out on site to a big corp in an office park in New Jersey and everyone in the cubicles around me came up and cracked jokes about my MacBook, tried to challenge me because I wasn't a "real developer" since I used a Mac etc. Honestly I'd guess the main people keeping the Mac line afloat at Apple are probably their own engineering staff.
