I didn't know that, I shouldnt have used absolutes like that without checking it out. What I should have said is that OSX is home to the majority of the RoR community.
Thats better then rails on Windows, where your best bet for a ruby app server is IIS with FCGI ;-) The big reason everyone loves developing ruby on the mac is due to the killer text editor TextMate, which imo has no match on any other platform.
