Why do I care?
Use whatever you want. Don't tell us about it. You clearly don't want an alternative (at least you don't ask for one), so why would we want to know about your current computing situation?

It'd probably surprise you to know that the majority of websites are coded on a Macintosh. However, since M$ is now discontinuing IE for Mac, this is no longer a viable solution. If you ask me, M$ discontinued IE for Mac specifically to force webdesigners over to Winblows platforms. However, I can only hope it will simply encourage the intelligent webdesigners to code to standards rather than to IE. Eventually, this would cause M$ problems as more and more websites appeared just fine in everything but IE.
Not that this will happen, but I can hope so . . .

Not having IE on the mac won't move developers or web designers away.
I always find that if I develop on Mozilla or Safari (well anything other than IE) I tend have less problems. I learnt this along time ago, sort out the IE problems at the end. Also if your not using M$ standards bastardised in the first place, such stupid little JScript or Active X tricks then your going to be producing code that is far more likely to be compatible with IE in the end anyway.
I actually think that *nixes (including OS X) are actually growing as dev platforms anyway. Here's an interesting link:
OS of choice
I'll have to request this sort of info across the apache group, (xml.apache etc...) it would interesting to see.
:D
