What a fascinating site. It also could be used as an Apple advertisement (he said, writing on a MBP 17"). :-)

Quoting the About The Setup page:

"Despite appearances, the site is not actually sponsored by Apple - people just seem to like using their tools. We're a fan, too."

However, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some selection bias involved. On the other hand, they sometimes feature such hardcore geeks like Russ Cox running Plan9 from User Space[1].

You'd think that, because I myself use a Mac, but I'm more interested in the people over the hardware and pick based on that. :)

>90% Emacs, Terminal, and Chrome.

I knew Chris was mah homeboy!

My EXACT daily set of tools. :)

The stack is pretty interesting and impressive, almost everything they use are things I would choose to use under similar constraints and would love working with.

Fortunately he didn't ask where I spend my time in Chrome.
