Those same engineers tend also to use Macs; again, they don't call themselves "Mac people."

I like PCs and usually own at least one at any given moment. At the same time, I own and use Macs for things related to music and film production. Using Macs has never been a lifestyle decision except in the sense that, in order to be a working artist, I had to learn to use them. The decision was to be a working artist, not to swear allegiance to a product line.
I would say that it's a lot like someone is a BMW or Toyota Camry person, i.e. they find a manufacturer or model that they like and works well for them, so they just stick with it. I see it with all sorts of products - cars, TV's, audio receivers, ebook readers, the list goes on and on.
