Agreed but to code as well there are much better alternatives ex. Text mate, although you can use Sublime. And one more thing I'm not judging Linux or windows but I think OS X can be better if all you want is best of both the worlds(my case).
Unfortunately, I didn't have enough for a rMBP, so I ended up spending a third of the cost of a 13" rMBP on a Thinkpad so I could run a dedicated Linux machine.
That being said, if someone just happens to prefer Linux, you really can't beat a Thinkpad from the T, X or W series'.
