We were big fans of macs when developers also had to do support work, support work not really being our jobs. Supporting nontechnical users in a more conventional unix environment is hard if you don't have people whose actual job is to be a sysadmin, and none of us are familiar with or want to be familiar with Windows. So Apple's combination of catering to non-technical users and being a unix, albeit a crappy unix, was a decent compromise. Most of us installed linux when we stopped having to do support though.
