Why Mac? Like many, many devs: (1) acceptable font rendering, unlike Windows, (2) compatible with Adobe CS unlike Linux, and (3) it's a *nix, allowing me to develop stuff that will run on linux cloud instances.
- acchow 8y agoLast time I used linux, it didn't do font rendering that well either. Mac also lets you choose arbitrary resolution scaling. And it's damn near perfect.
