I have used the top of the line MacBook Pro (work provided) for ~8 years. They're great laptops. They can handle any programming compilation workload I can throw at it, even on top of all of IT's required malware. The OS is stable and stays out of my way for the most part. I don't use any Apple software and generally dislike when I have to do anything Apple-specific, but the hardware and runtime environment are undeniably solid.
That said, I'll probably never own a Mac because they're unreasonably expensive. I can get a high end gaming laptop or build a ludicrous desktop for the same price and run either linux or windows.
