I've used different Mac Laptops for Web Development for over 15 years. These machines are perfectly suited for the task. Out of the box you have a stable Unix OS, which comes pre installed with Apache and PHP. Throw in Brew for missing packages and you are ready to start working in minutes. Windows machines were never meant to be anything by Business tools for people who don't want care much about software.

I'm never a fan of windows, just put the option to see if anyone was actually using it. I've been using Mac for development for the past 4 years, it has been a very reliable companion. But I was a bit disappointed when I faced issues while setting up Nginx and phpfpm. I've seen developers using Parallel desktop and docker to mimic production setup, all this made me actually wonder, why not buy a good windows pc, trash the windows and use Linux.

I always use a VM Linux, that way I don't really mind if it's hosted on macOS or Windows, it's the same thing to work with and eliminates the question for me.
