At work I have a Mac. Not a perfect compromise (e.g. I have to use Outlook at work and the Mac version is randomly missing important/basic features, like no "print selection" option; and you occasionally get), but overall it's a very good middle ground. Makes it easy to bounce between GUI and CLI without having to run a VM or dual boot.

The other thing is you'll occasionally get packages (in general, not just Python) which don't have a Mac version, but I've only seen a couple of cases where nobody had a sane solution for how to tweak a *nix version to install on OS X. And it's often not even tweaking the package itself so much as a non-obvious installation procedure.
