I can’t speak to the relative difficulty of coding on each platform, but I do remember reading that Mac users have some distinct differences from Windows users. First, they buy, and use, more software. (Windows users tended to settle on Microsoft Office, and just a handful of others.) Second, because the platform is smaller than Windows, Apple (Mac and iOS) developers felt they were more likely to be noticed. Third, it used to be (although I hear this is not so much true now), they felt that that Apple worked well with them on the App Store.

But yeah, I’d like some of the Mac apps on Windows (and Linux), too.
