I completely agree that I wish it wasn't tied to Mac (Linux please and thank you), but the proportion of developers is higher on OS X than in the consumer market. I have no data to support this, but I suspect that many of those devs on Mac are also front-end, which (again, no data) makes me think that they might care a lot more about a nice GUI tool than devs on other OSes.

It's interesting to note that according to the same data points, Linux Desktop usage for developers is just about on par with OSX usage (20.5%).

Also interesting to note that > 50% of all developers use Windows. So much for the other comments saying devs only use Macs.
