It's not called a "machinetosh". It's Macintosh, or Mac for short. Named after the McIntosh variety of apple (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McIntosh_(apple) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McIntosh_(apple)).
"Windows is used way more than [Macintosh] on developer machines."
- Citation needed. Macs are extremely popular among web developers, and are required for iOS developers, both pretty major categories of "developer".
- coscreen 7y agoThanks for the historic context ;) Edit: + Stats from the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019 Windows: 47.5% MacOS: 26.8% Linux-based: 25.6% Source: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#technology-_-developers-primary-operating-systems https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#technology-_-...
- googleisevil6 7y agoYou seem pretty grounded in facts, I hope you and your product go a long way. That said, this number isn't representative. Lots of enterprise devs (using Windows) are the kind of people who don't go to SO or fill surveys. I'd bet survey age group would be skewed towards younger crowd. In fact, I'd wager it's something like 75 15 10 Windows Mac Linux.
