We all love the mac, and will continue to use it as long as it makes sense. To those who will continue to use it after it makes sense, well there are many Amiga fans around as well.
I'm at WWDC, and my point of view is that it was in Apple's best interest to propel development of iPhone and iPad apps. And since Apple, well, makes the Mac, isn't that our best interest as well? Additionally, what good did it do to receive Snow Leopard a year early? I'm hoping for a much more OSX focused WWDC next year, when at the end of the now normal two year development cycle 10.7 is likely to ship. Now if nothing OSX related appears in a year I'll be the first to bitch, but right now there's more mac users than ever, and comparatively fewer developers. What's not to like?
