First, us programmers code whatever the hell our bosses ask us to do. Some of us have our preferences, but in reality objectively it isn't based on quality of product.
Out of the box macs are more secure. Working to setup a windows box right(mean setting it up to run the number of features the mac has out of box) results in just as secure a setup, with just as reliable output. The truth is, theres only 3 real reasons to choose between them.
macs:
more secure to begin with, so you can be lackadasical in setting up security.. Though its a myth that they dont have vulnerabilites, especially when you realize how many big ones they have had as of late despite representing a minute amount of the market.
pcs:
more software available.
less expensive.
Ultimately though it usually comes down to what you have more experience in, what your more comfortable with.
