Good insights, and not just software developers, really. We don’t like ads, sensationalism, or anything reeking of bullshit. If we have to talk to someone to find out the price, the product may as well not exist.

Really? Then why is Apple so popular among a subset of developers?
Have you ever tried to setup a development environment in Windows? Windows fucking sucks for development unless you’re committed to handing over wads of cash for a VS license, and even then it’s really only good if your okay using a bunch of proprietary MS stuff.
Actually yes, I do cross platform development on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Mac is by far the most work and breaks constantly.
Because Windows fucking sucks and Linux is a can of worms not everyone wants to deal with?
Apple isn’t free of sin, but it’s the simplest way to get a system that doesn’t actively work against you.
As much as I hate it, Apple has good products. And it’s enough for enough people to have active development community. By that point it’s catch 22.
Because it’s a Unix machine with support for business software.
