Nope. Actually convinced one of my colleague to drop ubuntu and switch to a rMBP. Corporate policies: not really sure what you meant by that. Lack of hardware choice: am using a rMBP, this is a very beautiful piece of laptop. I can encode video, start a virtual machine, keep PHPStorm running smoothly, and compile java code all at the same time without any stuttering or slowdowns, and it does it in a very stylish manner. Closed operating system: even when am using linux/ubuntu am not gonna go around modifying the internals. So I don't mind it one bit, if it means having a smoother and better experience am all for the walled garden. My work usually targets either a redhat/centos server or ubuntu server and I don't have any difficulties with any environment differences between my target deployment server and my local machine. So no reason to rock the boat so to speak.
