- michaelq 12y agoThanks for your feedback. I have no quantitative evidence to back up this statement so I will amend it. There are many reasons most developers (certainly in the Bay Area) prefer OSX to Windows or desktop Linux. How would you feel about: "Macs combine the user-friendliness of Windows with the Unix environment necessary to run most tools and frameworks."
