I used Linux for everything in college, only switching to Mac when it became clear to me that it was a nicer laptop that had enough Unix for me to get by. Going back the other way, there are a few things Mac OS has that I like, but my day-to-day is IntelliJ, Emacs, Firefox and a terminal, so it's not that big of a problem. I'll probably never be totally Apple-free. I leave the door open for them to make a decent developer laptop again. And I don't have compelling replacements for, or the money to go down the rabbit hole all at once, for the iPhones, Apple TV, iPads etc. and figure out what to do about my photos and music. But Apple got me by wooing me as a developer. Now that I'm on Linux full-time at home, I can start thinking about how I'd like to solve those problems, where before I wasn't really giving it any thought. Apple should be worried, because we are a bell weather, and you can't expect a platform to thrive that developers despise.
