The mac’s main advantage to devs/hackers is Darwin, and we mostly use it for linux compatible software. Heck, I’ve switched from FreeBSD to osx just to get better laptop hardware and peripheral support. Most stuff we produce are *nix compatible. I’m no great hacker but everything I wrote to make my life easier is shell based. I think Windows with ASL will have the same impact, with more and more *nix compatible software being produced.
