Yeah, you know why? Because developer is the new cool, and you can't be cool enough without an Apple logo. People that really don't care about cool don't use Apple, e.g. Stallman, Linus. One really good dev I knew for a couple of days (he was a customer of ours) had to use a Mac because of company policy, he just put installed a Linux on it and put a sticker over the Apple logo. And I did spend 10 hours to set up a Linux distro because I cared actually learn something about how an OS worked. Then I made my own just for the fun. Now most Linux distros install and work flawlessly in 10 minutes. I use Ubuntu at work and I don't have any major complaint in over 3 years: it has all UNIX tools a REAL developer needs (no need to install Macports or whatever for really basic tools) and even if you need anything is as simple as apt-get install (and this since I started using Linux back in 2002). When online stores first appeared (e.g. Apple Store) all people were amazed, and we Linux users were "meh". And developers can be technically inept. I know a lot of those that don't even know how a network or an OS works, because they don't care. From my experience, and generally speaking, those are the kind of unhackish devs that use Mac.
