Love my Mac. I went Mac two years ago. For a developer, it's a dream machine. I can run Mac, Windows and Linux (the latter 2 via vm) very well. And despite the pretty GUI, the Mac is indeed a Unix OS. Posix compliant, and therefore a true unix...which Linux is not.
And you get far more software and peripheral support. Not as much as windows, but darn close (with peripherals) and far better than linux.
