Yep, they exist. And I wont spend a week on them :)

Amiga : great for writing/debugging programs
Macintosh : reasonable for use as a 'smart' terminal
Sun4 : for things that need much memory/CPU time
MSDOS : interface for tape streamer to back up my Amiga driver :)

Every machine has its advantages/disadvantages :)
