I have had a mac now for about 6 months. I love having a unix shell and an endless supply of opensource software (darwin ports, etc.)

As for development, MAMP is great. I have been able to build some extensions with pecl, etc. However, playing with WAMP Server recently on my Windows box has shown me that I can pretty much do the same stuff on Windows. For example, with WAMP Server you can load php extension via context menu. Nice!

I use the excellent Netbeans as an IDE which runs on top of Java and thus us almost identical in Mac or Windows. One of my favorite Windows editors of all time is Notepad++. It's free and lightweight (a la Textmate.)
