Mac fetish started when Mac went BSD based, and hardware was higher quality than common company hardware running windows. So developers wanted Mac.

Windows has seen the light and plenty of Unix possibilities on Windows, but they have lost nearly a generation of Developers who don't want to move back.

I personally don't care, I have two macs, one windows, one Ubuntu, and several tablets to work on. OS's are pretty commodified.
