Where? I, actually, don't know anybody who uses mac.
- thejosh 13y agoIt depends on which developer groups they used. It seems certain web languages attract people who use Macs, where this data probably came from.
- coreyja 13y agoIt also includes designers which in my experience are almost 100% mac users. So that will sway the stats more in that direction as well. What is weird to me, is under Software we see Windows 7 and even Windows XP but we don't see any form of linux.
- colinhowe 13y agoand we see a lot of people using Macs but running Windows on them.
- rlwolfcastle 13y agoIt's like the worst of both worlds.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoI used to see that a lot in China 5 years ago when mac hardware was becoming popular. Then about 3 years something happened: they stopped installing pirated XP on mac hardware and rather were already used to OS X because of their iPhones/iPads. Quite strange.
- eitally 13y agoTrue that. The only Mac user in my team of about 100 developers & devops folks is our designer. The rest are split between Linux (Arch & Ubuntu) and Windows 7. The other major dev group in my company (also ~100 people) has 0 Mac users and is also split between Windows & Linux. The .Net guys use Windows and nearly everyone else (Java/Python/Perl/DBAs/sysadmins/PostgreSQL/MySQL) prefers Linux.

It could be that the interviewees used several different distros. So Linux would have made the list but splitting it into distros makes the numbers for each too insignificant to be in the top 10.
