I wish the company I worked for would let us use Linux. Mac dev only. :(

Better than Windows at least

I care about freedom. In that regard, mac is easily the worst of the three. Also, it kinda combines the downsides of both:

Being proprietary crap that tries to force you into using it a specific way and does shit in the background nobody ever asked for
Not being compatible with some proprietary soft- or hardware

I hate windows with a passion but would take it anytime if mac would be the only other option.

In what way does it limit your freedom? When I first tried OSX I was quite surprised at how customizable it actually is, contrary to all the talk I heard about it.
