> Is MacOS this popular in the Web frontend crowd? Yes, and seemingly in the web backend crowd too (Ruby, PHP, Python but not as much AFAICT). If you go to a web conference and don't pull out a Mac, you do get comments and/or questions (depending if you're running Windows or Linux). At Python conferences I've seen fewer Macs and more of the good old ThinkPads running Linux. My feeling is that community has a more "Computer sciencey" taste in laptops, because they're not all web programmers.

> My feeling is that community has a more "Computer sciencey" taste in laptops, because they're not all web programmers. Or maybe just because they _can_ be bothered to spend a few days setting up their laptop just right and actively maintain it. I'm a fairly advanced user but I can't be bothered to do so on a laptop and would rather have a Mac to carry around and GNU/Linux on my desktop.
