"I see developers with macbooks all the time" - some people buy them just for the quality hardware and install Windows straight away.

Yes. And they're cheap. Well, last year I was looking for a laptop with - >=16G RAM - IPS hi-res screen - okay battery

Dell Precision, HP mobile workstations and rMBP -- the Mac is the cheapest. Now I regret it a bit as the cooling of rMBP is quite bad compared to the other two, but at least it's slim.

You can see this a lot at GDC.

There are lots of people carrying Macs, but since the games industry is strongly Windows focused, those Macs are actually running Windows on them.
