I don't recommend using a hackintosh for your professional development.

That being said, building a hackintosh rig and getting it to work is really fun to play around with!

In other words, doing this will eat up countless hours so you should only by doing this if you want (i.e., have time for) a new hobby, not because you think the new MBPs lack of an Esc key is going to ruin your productivity.

I would also add that I would be _incredibly_ wary of doing any professional develop outside of a properly licensed environment.

To my great sadness there is no such way to do hackintosh development in a properly licensed manner. :(

Don't know why you are getting downvoted. Hackintosh often have problems with interacting with specific non mac hardware and they can be a pain to set up.
