Mostly because it's a Unix system.Â* I'm a programmer
by trade, and I spend a lot of time on the command
line.Â* I dual boot Linux and live there for anything
except music.Â* I banged my heart at Linux audio for
enough years.Â* I spent all my time configuring and
none creating. Also my favorite interface is not
yet supported.

So I use Cygwin on Windows to get a decent shell,
but it's a band-aid on a band-aid.Â* I wanted to
be on a Unix OS where I'm comfy, with real audio
support.

Also, a couple of fellow developers at work are
Mac heads and I've seen them use them for years.
I found that it looked like an attractive alternative.

Now, I also wanted a seamless audio production
experience.Â* I'll take into account some of the comments
that have been made here.







Unless you want to use a command-line DAW (?!!!) then surely you are
approaching everything from 100% the wrong direction ?!!!

Good that you you do have an open mind though - hope whatever works out
works out for the best.
