Marco has long shown a visceral disdain for non-Apple products and those who use them. Unfortunately, this sort of behavior is on the rise in general, and not many people are willing to call out those who find it necessary to take a potshot at the "other camp" every chance they get.
As for Marco's comment about Windows-using web devs, one of the most respected members of our community and a serial web entrepreneur, patio11, appears to be a Windows user, at least as of 6 months ago: http://hackerne.ws/item?id=3422608 http://hackerne.ws/item?id=3422608
- ahi 14y agoThe comment was about web designers not developers. Patrick is well respected round these parts for good reason, but it is certainly not for his design skills. I didn't read it as being particularly harsh or snarky. It seems Web designers using Windows are becoming a rare breed. At least from what I can tell anyway. FWIW, I am not a designer and run Mac/Windows for testing purposes only.
