Just a bit of devils advocacy here... "Chances are, most computers you log in to will already have it installed and available to use." To the best of my knowledge, Make isn't included in OSX. While it can be easily via Xcode, lacking this utility can be frustrating to beginners who simply download Node and want to build a project.

Why on earth would you want to use node without them? To my knowledge, Ubuntu also requires build-essential to have any of the developer tools.

  Yeah, good look compiling native node modules on OSX without those build tools!
