There are some very good reasons why the Mac beats Windows for power users.

Try any of these on your Windows PC out of the box.

1. Load up a terminal and have access to bash and the ability to run ssh terminal sessions with full VT100 compatibility.

2. Run PHP from the command line

3. Compile and run tools like ImageMagick.

To be able to do any of these things with Windows you need to add clunky add ons which may or may not work. Take heaps of time to get going and often lead to headaches. Whereas with a new Mac, I can do these things in the first two minutes of powering it up.

I laugh at people who think Windows is better, it's not.
