According to reddit statistics, this is no longer the case (68% only). And back in 2000, I knew almost nobody in the web dev business using windows, but Macs instead.

Either you had a very eclectic group of friends, or your memory is slipping a bit.
The big in-rush of web developers to the Mac platform did not take place until Macs became Unix machines. Back in 2000, there was no such thing as OS X, unless you count the public beta. 10.0 suffered from abysmal adoption. I don't know any developers who used Puma, much less Cheetah. Most of us were using various Linux distros. However, by somewhere around 2003ish, with Jaguar, the switch had begun in earnest, but Mac's didn't predominate among web developers for a while longer.
