Ask HN: Is it worth switching to a Mac?
I don't like macs because they are gramma-friendly, I like them because I can run a real bash rather than cygwin. You want to know how a computer works under the hood, you should prefer OS X to windows.

It's rather unfortunate that you need to pay for Mac hardware just to run bash, don't you think?

In my case my employer pays for it ;-) Otherwise I'd be running Ubuntu!
