I'm also considering buying a MacBook Pro for Rails, and some other unix-ish, development but I have some concerns regarding OS X. I'd really like to hear what you think of OS X after a week or two. Thanks! Alex,

"The fact that I need to install 1GB worth of developer libraries just to get to actually installing is nutty." If I recall... installing the .NET framework took quite a while as well. ;-) The reason it takes so long, is because you're not installing a pre-compiled piece of software like the packages you must have installed on your Windows machine.
