Do you mean people who are hacking on the Linux kernel? People working on Linux GUI apps? People writing code that will be deployed on Linux servers?

I'm mostly in the last of those camps these days, and I use Mac OS on a Mac laptop. My code gets built and tested on Linux via Jenkins somewhere in Teh Clownd. In the extremely rare event that I need to run my code on Linux, that's what Virtualbox is for.
