Poor development tools are but ONE reason to migrate from OS X and 
Apple. The other is the fact that the machines, no matter how good they 
are, suffer from terrible upgrade options. What if you want to change 
the GPUs or the processors? Can you? What about an improved motherboard? 
A PC user doesn't ask these questions because they know that they can 
and that hundreds of different options are constantly at their disposal, 
not just Apple-approved upgrades.
