I find I have to. Ironically, it's to run Linux/Unix applications that aren't ported for Darwin, but run fine under Cygwin in Windows...

I have a small desk with no room for a separate box either on it or under it, but I don't want the compromise on ergonomics that a laptop would be, so the flat-panel, all in one iMac fits the bill for me perfectly.
And when you want to upgrade, you get to choose between a 20" and a 24" disposable screen

Don't get me wrong. I do like Macs. I've used them for work for years, but I wouldn't buy one for my home. Plus, as I've said earlier, their current offerings are pants in terms of choice. If I want any performance, Steve decides I need to either get four cores, get a laptop, or have my hardware built into a 24" disposable screen. Nice...
