Agreed. It all depends on your target market. A few examples of Mac usage
(culled from netcraft, web logs, and personal experience etc) in...

the total population of the web <10%
education ~40% at University of Virginia last I had stats
Darden Business school @ University of Virginia 0% (ok, I have one developer
friend who brings in his powerbook...)
the last graphic design firm I worked with 100%
my company, currently 0%
the OReilly Open Source Convention ~50%
speakers at the last All-Stuff, No-Fluff java weekend I attended ~ 50%

the last two numbers are the interesting ones IMHO -- used to be graphic
designers used Mac, developers used PC (maybe with Linux on it, but probably
Windows). Most of the Java developers I know are moving to Mac. I'd head
there myself if I didn't spend 50-60% in MS-SQL developer world with local
database servers (and I'm not real interested in running VirtualPC for that)

More interesting to me is of the Macintosh OS X users, how many are using
Safari vs using MSIE or Mozilla.
