What a crock of shit. None of the "package managers" he mentions are OSX. They are add-ons by people like him who want OSX to be Linux. Plenty of web developers use Macs day in and day out, me included. What he is really complaining about is his employer's stack is ill-suited to running locally on OSX. It probably sucks on Windows, too. Anyway nothing stops him from using Ubuntu on his Macbook. This is the same "Toyota Prius is unsuitable for plowing snow" crap that geeks with big egos post thinking they have something interesting to say. Either use the same platform for development as you use for production deployment, or use tools that are compatible across deployment and dev platforms. And stop whining.
