Exactly which feature do you think can't be had by Windows developers for free? I suppose you could argue that "oh, with Apple I get it all in one package..." Big deal. You also have to buy an overpriced PC to run OS X and you can't even run the OS in a virtual machine via a hyper-visor.

Having everything integrated into one consistent package is the reason to use an IDE. iOS device emulation and Unix excepted, everything is sort of available from other sources, but, then, how much money would the time to assemble, learn and operate your duct-tape software development stack be worth?

  Gee, I guess it's worth about $500. The same price you'd have to pay for a mac mini.

    Xcode can be expensive, but it comes with a nice, free computer.
