I would say any operating system which is Unix based is pretty good for programming. At least I feel like that.

If you take the famous ones, Ubuntu (Linux) is awesome for programming stuff and that command line makes development a lot better.

Along with the power of *nix, Mac has very good UI so many people are choosing it these days. Use what you have for now, don't spend your money buying a Mac because other people are using Macs.
