I use both OSX and Linux extensively. I had the choice to go either way for my work computer and I chose OSX (intel chip). A couple of days ago I wanted to use a Ruby gem ( https://github.com/rubyjs/therubyracer https://github.com/rubyjs/therubyracer ) for some random project. To install the library (compile native bindings), OSX wanted me to download an install 12 GB of crap (full XCode, it didn't work with the command line tools)... In linux it was just a matter of downloading and installing the gem (100MB at most). That's crazy. What I dislike more and more about OSX is how they have been aggresive against developers and technical people in the last years (like, why do I have to jump through hoops to modify my /usr/lib folder with SUDO/root? I AM ROOT ASSHOLE OS, LET ME DO WHATEVER I WANT TO MY COMPUTER. But other than that, it's OK.
