I wasn't trying to say that Apple (or Steve) is particularly found of Unix historicaly. Nor should they, Unix should be a means to an end, not one in itself. Unix should really be invisible to most users if present at all.
What I'm saying that Apple is a company usually willing to rewrite things the “right way”, vide Webkit, LLVM.
