Troff is still used (mostly for man pages, I think), and VT100 escape codes are still common, and I don't know what is meant by UNIX being "only for system stuff".

Maybe he meant unix v7? I'm sure a lot of stuff still runs on it, somewhere...

> UNIX being "only for system stuff" At first I thought he meant server-side, but OS/X is as Unix as Linux is or even Solaris was.

  macOS (neé OS X) is actually more Unix than Linux, as it is certified.

    That certainly says more about the certification process than about unix-ness of macOS ;) On the other hand large fraction of UNIX(TM) certified OSes are in fact niche Linux distributions (IIRC mostly RHEL derivates). In all it is mostly about nobody giving a damn about the certification outside of very specialized applications.
