Then there's the free(as in beer) Apple Developer Tools, which you need
to install, but include: XCode and all the other good stuff it brings,
including WebObjects, IPhone SDK, general Cocoa SDK tools, various
profilers etc etc. the list just goes on an on..

Hi,
For me, Windows is not even remotely comparable to OS X for a software
development machine.
These are some very useful tools for software development that come with
OS X. Straight out of the box.

That's what happens when one thinks one thinks he can read and
understand english as one's native language.

I have been moving towards OSX three years ago. Only I have the feeling

You are having a lot of beachballs under OSX sometimes at odd times.

Probably plenty good enough for a bushwhacker like me if I just took

I do. And it's better for everything except Flex ;-)
In all seriousness, I can't abide Windows, and the mix of real Unix plus all
the Aqua goodness (not to mention various third-party tools like Textmate)
more than make up for the (slightly) crappier quality in Builder and Eclipse
on Mac.

I use a mac, but I've been using Apple products since 1979
OSX is Unix based, and a lot of devs like the Unix- ish features. My
experience with designing and developing on a mac is that it's more
straight forward to use. If you love to inker with your OS and
hardware, go Microsoft,
I recently switched to a MAC and love it.

I've been using a MacBook Pro for some time now. I agree with Matt on all
counts. I got one cuz you can run Windows + OS/X on it which is useful for
testing.

I first switched to a Mac about 3 1/2 years ago, and have had a MBP as
my primary system for about 2 years now, though at my new job I've been
moved back to an XP box. I'm still on the fence.
For development I still feel Windows XP wins hands down - especially
with multi-monitor set-ups.
Just in case anybody cares, it is also possible to use Flex Builder on
Linux.
Since I don't normally use any non-free software, and I do a lot of
Linux sys admin, thats good for me.
There are a few apps I can't duplicate, like Illustrator and Google
Sketchup and Rhino, but mostly I don't miss
Inkscape is a reasonable Illustrator-replacement, and it's free.
