one question: why is every single person in the YC Hacks photos using a variant of the macbook? i'm someone who is about to pursue a CS degree, and also embarking on an autodidactic journey in software development and i'm entirely used to windows machines and do not personally like the mac interface that much (possibly simply out of habit). why is it so prevalent for developers and programmers to use macs? are windows machines inferior for such purposes?
