While I've got nothing against the Mac, the MBA certainly isn't a "powerful" machine.

If you like it great. However, a lot of the bleeding edge stuff that I do is always on PC first and on Mac as an afterthought, much farther down the road.
Bleeding edge is on Linux. But I got really bored with Linux on desktops. All of our servers are some version of Linux or Solaris but not desktops. One of the great things about Macs is that they are basically Unix machines. So you can run MacOS, Windows as well as Unix easily without any fuss.
