Why Macs?

Because the tech industry is a bunch of trendy SJW faggots.

Nah, it's the "culture" and what macs signify. Remember, in the Silicon Valley, Steve Jobs is considered a hero, basically a modern da Vinci. Those guys are, you know, in their own world.

For them, macs are associated with this heroic and cool image that Apple has in the world of computing. Which is obviously fake and the result of marketing. But what can you expect from a bunch of engineers working in fairyland.

>If something goes wrong they take it to the Apple store and get it replaced because time is money
If something goes wrong on the Dell with Ubuntu, a Dell support guy shows up at your desk to solve it. Dell has top-tier support. I never understood how macfags gloat so much over having to drive to a store to fix a problem like this is some groundbreaking shit no other company can do.

NeXT/OpenSTEP were already BSD. Rhapsody was a fork of OpenStep.

In otherwords, MacOSX is just the MACOS9 interface ported to *STEP's Cocca API.

You could recreate Aqua fairly easily with GNUStep if there was interest. In fact, the interface modules are already cross-compatible. Mac's Textedit is FOSS and compiles with GNUStep and it runs great on Linux but without AquaWM, it defaults to the clunky *STEP interface.

You think a Dell guy is gonna show up to some "tech dude's" home? They're too busy working with actual businesses that pay more

1) company pays for it, who cares
2) windows sucks dick for developing anything on
3) photoshop and friends run on osx
4) see 2

Because macbooks are light, and they are POSIX - it will feel like proprietary Linux when you use it - because everything will work.

No more fucking with drivers, and years of updates. Macbooks from 2012 are still valid today in many cases.

If you have good IT who knows their way through Windows, you can get the same juice of of Windows in an enterprise. In a startup, no one has time to fuck around with that; we need Docker ready to rock without dicking with the feature panels.

They show up if you buy the support. And yeah, they go to your home. I've read reports where a guy went there and did hardware fixing inside the guy's home.

But it's not Apple Care™
