Looking at the photos, I started to think, is there any young developers who use PCs instead of Mac's, any photo of a coworking space I saw lately shows that everybody is using Mac.

They really shouldn't sit on those benches and chairs if they care about health.

Macs just work. I was an Ubuntu user for over 10 years, first on an older Thinkpad (rock solid but eventually slow), later on a decent HP (with a little hardware problem). I bought Airs for my wife and daughter. I would help them with something, then return to my machine, and feel a little more frustrated each time. Airs have better hardware, better software, a better user experience, and are rock solid (if you don't…
That's impossible. The first Ubuntu release was on October 20th, 2004 - less than 10 years ago.

My laptop is my "interface", far more often than my tool itself. I have powerful servers for building, VM's for emulating other environments, I want my laptop to simply be something I'm _VERY_ comfortable with and able to mangle as needed, which usually ends in *nix for me, out of sheer pragmatism. (the windows is for software I have to run that forces a degree of compatibility.)

Are Macs expensive in your country/city, related to PC? I bought my first iMac one month ago, after using HP, Acer, etc. w/ Slackware for years. Would like to acquire a Macbook Pro soon, just to give you an idea, a Macbook Pro, i7, 16 GB RAM, SSD 512 GB is around 2900 U$ here.
Check with your accountant to see if you can deduct the cost. Or if you can do a business lease on one.
Japanese young folks, in particular, can really use that message. It is not a particularly popular message in Japan, which is largely organized for the benefit of salarymen and supports a few variants like "stay-at-home mothers" and "retired people" but institutionally is almost entirely unaware that there are exotic options like "freelancing."
I generally work out of cafes in Ogaki when not working from my kitchen table, and have been told three times by well-meaning cafe owners "Don't worry kiddo! If you hang in there I'm sure one of these days you'll find a job! Just keep sending those emails!"
Thanks for sharing. I really couldn't tell if this was in Osaka until I saw the pictures of takoyaki being shared. Yup. Only in Osaka!
My favorite co-working space in Japan is Super-Deluxe [1] coworking in the daytime, bar / event space at night. Wish there were more funky spaces like that in the world!

My favorite part about the coworking movement in Japan -- and I don't get much exposure to it since it hasn't arrived in force in Ogaki yet -- is that it provides a community and social reinforcement which says "Just because you're not a salaryman doesn't mean you're a homeless vagabond!" to participants.
