Top Ten Reasons to Become a Mac Programmer

10. All the blue-coloured widgets and background images are good for the soul.
9. You can keep a Terminal.app window open and pretend to be a Unix hacker.
8. Crappy enterprise data access support means no horrible database programming.
7. People will think you're some kind of artist or writer or something else less socially leper-ous than being a programmer.
6. Interface Builder's NeXTStep heritage will force you into a Model-View-Controller architecture so strongly that even design-as-you-go nitwits like me will be saved from their own poor planning.
5. No matter what you do, Wired will eventually write a feature story about you.
4. All the built-in eye candy and automatic alignment guides will make you look like you know something about UI design.
3. The development tools don't cost more than what your stupid shareware program will probably earn you.
2. The Indian programmer who stole your Windows coding job can't afford to buy a Mac.
1. Chicks dig iBooks.
