So hows that mac port going?

"awesome.... a mac".

...Hmm. So, give me a second.


So much rage towards a tool and the people who prefer/use it.

You seem to understand, they're the same thing. Same CPU. Same chipset. Same GPU. Same network controllers. Same storage controllers. Same display OEMs. I won't say you're wrong, because I'm not going to flame war.
But, for future note, the reasons I prefer my 2013 MacBook Pro Retina:
- Catcher Elements (the people who mill Apple's aluminum) are the best on earth at what they do. It's high quality, and it feels like it. No plastic anywhere.
- I can run OSX legally and supported. I can run Windows. Legally and supported. Takes ~6 seconds to switch. Neither ever crashes.
- Huge retail and service network if I ever need to take them in for repairs. Don't see any Lenovo stores. Sony backed out of PCs. Don't think HP has a walk-in retail service center. ASUS isn't setting up shop at the mall.
- Higher resell value. I paid about 2,200 for my laptop. I can comfortably sell it (almost 11 month old machine) for 80% of that. My top of the line Sony had lost 75% of its value within 6 months.
- I know how to use xcode, automator, cocoa, and terminal quite well. Anything a PC can do, I can likely do on my Mac, generally quicker.

And lastly, yeah.
It does have a visual appeal. It's a minor status symbol. I make fantastic income. I can afford for my laptop to say as much, so I let it.
It's becoming more common, so it isn't a conversation starter. But it's nice hardware. And people like it
