My distaste for Macs comes more from not wanting to be associated with the group of people who very vocally and repeatedly tell the world that we're all doing it wrong, our stuff doesn't work, you're so much better than us because you use a mac.

I always shake my head when I see this sort of argument since it seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the actual utility of the computer. If a Mac isn't a match for your use case then that is sufficient reason to use something else. If the Mac is actually a better match for your use case but you avoid it just because you don't like some other people who happen to own a Mac it seems like you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.
