As someone who would like to get a new PC (but a desktop) for coding, and is considering a mac, why would you never buy a mac for coding ?

I'm currently running Ubuntu on this ancient thing (which I love actually), but I absolutely don't want Windows.

1. I like my laptops with USB ports and removable RAM and disk. I love computers and opening up a mac is a bad experience.

2. It costs an arm and a leg to replace parts on a Mac when you travel outside the United States. Replacing the keyboard on my first macbook cost the same as the actual price. I learnt my lesson. I don't need that Apple garbage in my life.
