That's a big, fat lie. 

Many skilled professionals and experts use Macs.  Go to any technical
conference and look at the audience and presenters and they'll be using
Macs. All of the staff at tech companies like Facebook use Macs.
Scientists and other professionals make widespread use of them. The idea
that someone who knows what they are doing cannot appreciate a Mac is
just plain false.

And so on...

The truth is experts like to use the best tool for the job unlike loser
zealots who refuse to use the best tool for the job just because of the
logo that happens to be on the outside of it. ; )
