Same here, a lot of people used linux and the machines at university all had a linux option to choose from apart from windows, which was the preferred choice for many courses.

I never really considered developping on a mac until I had to do it for my first programming job.

The thing is that it felt better than programming on Windows (because you do have a neat terminal), but it still felt inferiour to programming on linux.

It felt like being less in control on a mac and I for one did not like the UI of the mac at all. I'm sure the latter is purely subjective and the former is maybe due to me not looking around enough to figure out how to do so on a mac.

Still happy to not have to develop on those machines anymore though.
