eclipse? netbeans? intelliJ? (editors: vim? emacs?) edit: it's also easy to load a windows VM on pretty much any other platform and develop for windows, if that's what you're after. full-screen 2560x1440 virtualbox windows VM performance is actually quite nice. if i want to use my linux laptop to develop for OSX, I am violating Apple's EULA by having a hackintosh virtualbox image. though it does work pretty well, i'd rather not have to deal with it. but i guess this is a bit off-topic. your point is a good one. but, i guess what i'm getting at is that if i'm doing windows or linux development, i have many choices about what my hardware can be. with apple development, officially, i have only one choice: apple hardware.
