That's a complete fallacy in my experience developing high-end VFX software for three platforms (Linux, Windows, OS X). OS X is causing us so much trouble compared to other platforms. With XCode developer stuff, you can only target two versions of OS X, so that's 10.5&10.6, 10.6&10.7 and soon to be 10.7&10.8. Some of our customers want Lion support. But a lot still want 10.5 support and most of them still want 10.6 support. There's no way of us providing this short of completely separate builds for OS X targeting different versions of the SDK. And the "consistently better" part is a joke for certain things, e.g. OS X OpenGL support seems to be getting worse despite supporting a later version (3.2) to some degree. Maybe things are better for more "consumer orientated" developers, but definitely for high-end stuff, it's getting to the point where it's getting more trouble than it's worth to develop for OS X.
