Why are there so many Mac users?


I am gradually thinking of going the all-digital route, and to that effect I've started reading a lot of threads about all-digital systems.
One thing I noticed is that many audiophiles with such systems are using either a Mac Mini, iMac or other Mac products.
Are there any major reasons for doing so? What advantages do Macs have over PCs (aside from looks)?
I am trying to soak in all the information I can gather on the subject, so thanks for enlightening me!

Thanks everyone for the "crash-course" in Mac use! I already own a PC, so the Mac would only be used for music (at first!).
"Disadvantages include: Software range is narrower than PC. EAC is a PC-only ripping software that is arguably the best available (better error-correction than itunes). "
Could I rip with EAC on the PC, store the files on an extarnal HD, and have the Mac play the tunes? It might be a pretty simple question, but I'm still learning, and with your help, I am making great strides!
