it's all about cpu and memory cycles you wait for while compiling, debugging, testing. Did you miss the part where the guy did a lot of Python development and HTML/CSS? "Why are you sword-fighting in the hallway?" "Oh, I'm waiting for my CSS to compile!" Last year DHH claimed to be doing all his Rails development on a MacBook Air, a wonderful machine which I really like but not the fastest computer around. On the other hand, it's still faster than anything I had years ago. And the speed difference between the Air and my 24" iMac doesn't much matter for Rails, unless you recompile your MacPorts or rubygem docs on an hourly basis. But, if you see no value in the Mac OS, by all means use something else. |
