OS X 10.3.3 Mac mini (late 2012), MBP 13 (2014), at work imac 27 (2014) I use mainly vim with plugins (notably youcompleteme, syntastic, ctrlp) for programming in various languages. Python, C++, OCaml, Erlang, Go. I try to keep everything synchronized with unison and git.

I like Mac OS because it works out of the box and I really hate spending time configuring things. But mostly, I'd be fine with any OS. The only thing that ties me to Mac OS is music recording. I couldn't get the same experience with Linux or Windows (not last time I checked a few years ago).

Main system is current Ubuntu on a system assembled from parts from Frys. Core i7 3770 with 32GB of RAM (the most the MB can take), using Intel graphics and a 3 monitor setup. Development is mostly Python and C.

There is also a similar laptop, a Mac mini, VMs for Windows, dual boot for Windows (games), and a large collection of various Android and iOS devices.

I use Mac OS X at work and on my web dev laptop (MBP). I use Windows 8.1 on my gaming PC. I have a Chromebook (CR-48) lying around collecting dust. Most other PCs in the house run Windows 7.

My dev stack is... complex. I use PHP, MySQL, NodeJS, JS/jQuery, Python, and Mongo at work. On personal projects I use Ruby/Rails, PostgreSQL, and raw JS. In both worlds I use Sass. I use a lot of Ansible.

Go is very interesting, and may become important to me in the future.

OS: OSX 10.10

Hardware: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13", late 2013 r.)

Tools: Depends on a project I'm currently working on. Mostly MacVim for my editing needs (with a heavily modified config and a bunch of plugins: NERD Tree, Command-T, linters, etc.), but I also use XCode from time to time for iOS work. I do projects in Meteor, Angular JS and PHP.

OS: Windows7 on a Zenbook

OS: Ubuntu/ChromeOS on a Acer C720 Chromebook

Agonizingly close to being able to use ChromeOS but primary client uses a VPN that ChromeOS refuses to support.
