This is easy. With Mac OS X, apache/php come pre-loaded, there is a mysql binary available, cvs comes on the x-code tools cd. In addition to that, I can enjoy a nice graphical interface like I've been accustomed to.
But wait, it gets better. In Mac OS X, I have a terminal at my disposal at all times, and I don't have to worry about the "blue screen of death" or even the threat of viruses (yes, I know there are viruses for mac, but they are not nearly as numerous as those for PC).
Add in a cheap software package - iLife, and it gives me some pretty cool applications that would easily cost me a lot more $$ for the PC equivalent, and the quality would not have been as good.
I think that mac even has a price advantage. I can get a solid laptop for half of its PC equivalent! Now with the Mac Mini, watch out Microsoft....
