I use Apple computers because I get a great OS that is a real UNIX operating system that I can fire up Terminal on and run real UNIX commands to do all sorts of neat stuff.
From a pure geek perspective, what is there not to love about OS X ?
On windows to use ssh you need to install Putty which doesn't implement all VT100 commands properly and sucks to use.
If I need a custom app for my Mac I can very quickly prototype then compile using Xcode.
The OS is inherently secure whereas Windows machines are targeted by thousands of pieces of Malware.
OS X Rocks. It is a superior OS to Windows on so many levels and there is far more software available for it.
