I definitely don't need Darwin or the beautiful user interface. The reasons I use MacBooks are: 1) to have a mac to test my app on 2) I can trust the hardware to be of a certain quality and reliability (power consumption, weight, wifi, sound, display...) 3) good enough platform for running VM's of Windows and Ubuntu I spend 90% of my day in my Ubuntu VM.
