  I imagine you are living in a Mac bubble. On our main building, which has four floors, there are exactly 4 Macs. On two of the customers sites I visit regularly, with several hundred people on the respective buildings, only iOS developers have Macs, and they aren't that many on site.

    It really varies; among many SF Bay Area companies, PCs are rare sights for the past 5-7 years. Go into any Bay Area coffee shop, for example. Now in London, Tokyo, Chicago, Austin, Seattle, Toronto or New York it's probably more balanced, but I see plenty of tech companies that are Mac standard. I work for a global software and services company of over 2500 people and I'd say maybe 5% are running PCs with windows or Linux, the rest are on Macs. (And we aren't specialist iOS developers). I'm not sure what the share is in Salesforce, Amazon, Google or Facebook or the like, probably over 30% at least.

      I can tell you that in Europe it surely doesn't look like that. Companies like Salesforce, Amazon, Google or Facebook and similar are the snowflakes of Fortune 100. There are plenty of other companies out there, and for the large majority software development is a by product, not their main business.

        "for the large majority software development is a by product, not their main business." And this is why software companies are slowly taking over many other industries. :-)
