From my purely anecdotal experiences of attending/organizing a few 500-person-plus hackstons and dozens of smaller ones, at least half of the people I meet there use macs. Its definitely in fashion still. I switched to a m1 mac last year after nearly 4 decades of low level x86 work, incl. drivers, rootkits, and the like. These days I code in higher level languages such as rust or, ehm, python, and the mac offers a fine experience. Ironically, what pushed me over the fence was the pandemics; most of the video conferencing stuff causes windows laptops to sound like vacuum cleaners.
