Macs have been since Jobs return as much of a status symbol as a productive device.
Combine that with the fact that OSX is a modern Unix, has BASH, and can run most GNU/Linux targeted software with only a C compiler.
THEN you have actually have competitively powered hardware running under the hood (i7 + 8GB of ram + 5+ hours of battery).
You actually get an all around fairly solid development machine that also acts as a socio-economic status symbol. Jobs did in fact know what he was doing.
