That’s hilarious considering one of Apples most loyal bases is software engineers. Even a number of Linux kernel maintainers are on MacBooks

  I agree that a lot of software engineers use MacOS, though maybe not to the extent of 2007. Linux Desktops seem more viable than ever. > Even a number of Linux kernel maintainers are on MacBooks They aren't running MacOS on them though, are they? I'd really like a citation on this if you think they are.

      I meant Linux Desktop Environments.

  That's an HN biased opinion, if you look outside the startup ecosystem, many developers in the enterprise don't use macos.

      My workplace gives a choice between Linux / windows / macos. Less than 30% choose macos. It's one sample point but it can't be the only one.

  How many if we take away all the noobs who can't start their own code without clicking play on the IDE though? Feel free to downvote, I've met such people in senior SWE positions
