I agree with your premise on Linux but I'll never understand the Mac = creative thing. I've seen many people mention the creative aspects as a reason to use a Mac, but it's outdated thinking IMO – most creative professionals are using the Adobe Suite which has been cross platform for years.

As a dev I love having bash, a terminal, homebrew, wget, curl, etc available on my dev machine. At the same time I need world class application support for Office and the Adobe Suite that I wouldn't get on Linux. Mac is the happy medium between the power of linux with the polished GUI and application support of Windows.

Unless I was an MS only dev who depended on Visual Studio I can't fathom why I would switch to Windows (although things may be changing with Windows 10 and their Linux integration).
