So macs are:
>overpriced
>have bad hardware for their price
>lack customization
>not opensource
>not futureproof
>have loud keyboards
>require dongles
>send your credit card info to apple
>etc
Yet 95% of programmers and web developers use them. Why so?

Where did you get those numbers? I have never seen a programmer using a mac.

>Yet 95% of programmers and web developers use them. Why so?
no they don't. you must be american or something and even then silicon valley freak if you think the number is 95%.
Samuel Nelson
Because mac is better than windows and has more software support then linux
Dylan Johnson
Because, to make mobile apps for the most profitable app store, you need to use either a Mac or a hackintosh. That's the simple reason.
Hudson Bailey
he saw the macbook faggots in the university that got him into a 30 years of debt.

>95% of programmers
I've never seen a single programmer using a Mac?
Frontend webdevs, working with PS, and CSS/SASS, maybe, but not programmers.
Lucas Jones
> mobile apps
no does then anymore, people just use big 6-7 + their bank. that's it.
you need to hang out more with silicon valley lads whose breath smells like cum and are pythonistas. made with love in San Fransisco! (she/her)

Found the faggots not skilled enough to work in the bay. Must feel bad.

Terry didn't use mac, so checkmate op
Austin Martinez
Terry used a desktop pc with a Xeon and 128gb of ram, fuck macfags

95% is an absolutely massive overestimation unless if you are in a SF coworking space.
The problem is specialization. Many dudes are sick front end designers, or high-level (in the assembly vs python way) progammers or whatever. A lot of them like the whole UNIX toolchain but would like to pay out the ass for overpriced hardware because for them, the cost of learning how to use those applications is too much effort. Rightly or wrongly, they'd rather use macOS to that end.
Brandon Peterson
Oops, forgot to mention what I say by specialization - Lot of guys who design for the we but don't know how to host a server or even tell you what DNS is. For some people, they get paid for a small, specific task and they don't care to learn other stuff.

wrong. that would be only 27%, according to the latest stack overflow survey. for comparison, linux is at 23%.

Because the company pays for them and buys at a good discount. Also battery life.

95% of people are retards. It checks out.

>>overpriced
>>have bad hardware for their price
These two mean the same thing.
Adrian Evans
Because that's false and evident when you really know about electronics and software (I.e. not the autist mud)
Devs also make decent amount of money to buy better tools than neckwear fat neets in this sub.

You want to source that number of yours?
