I can’t do without my mac smile

I don’t think I could ever bring myself to go back to a PC.

That is until you need a replacement part for a Mac, but have very shallow pockets…

Given that CI is platform independent, shouldn’t the question be “what IDE do you use?“? wink

(sorry, I just don’t see the correlation).

I think most of us use several setups.
I do my primary coding using windows, my testing using a linux setup and the finally my work is uploaded to a linux server.

If your work requires HTML to be output, it’s often wise to test it on just about every browser you can on every platform, and many developers do. I would if I could, but I don’t work due to disability, so money is always scarce.

I wish they could just make a browser that combined all popular browsers into one as “views”. That way you can use one browser, and switch between tabs.

I finally made a switch to Linux when Ubuntu 8.04 was released. I still keep Windows XP for Adobe stuff and IE testing.

Development : OSX
Production   : Linux

I cringe every time I have to launch IE via Crossover to test raspberry Although I am considering building myself a powerful Server 2008 Workstation, the MBP just isn’t fast enough sometimes.

I generally do all my development in Mac OS X. But usually I deploy either on a Linux box I have or whatever my hosted ISP uses - I think that is Linux too.

@wiredesignz: That’s just awesome - I was actually thinking about something like that but I figured I would have to stick with something like 98SE. I just love to ditch resource hungry GUI’s like Vista and Mac OS X for pure speed.

I don’t care what OS I use as long as it has a GUI, decent Script editor like TextMate, SciTE, or Eclipse PDT, and the Apache 2 server.

If only there was a linux flavor of the Adobe line…(sorry Ubuntu “hardy”)

I’d like to point out that OSX with its “fancy ass” GUI is very speedy, I haven’t used Vista Aero on a comparable specced computer to really be a judge here though.

Expose is also quite the productivity enhancer, vastly superior to alt tabbing. Switched to OSX a year back and never regretted it since smile
