It has posix shell, all is forgiven, can't complain about UI patterns that I never interact with.

- rbanffy 7mo agoExactly. Who could imagine Apple would eventually inherit Sun’s crown as the king of the RISC unix workstation?
- pjmlp 7mo agoNo one, given how A/UX went down. It was a mix of not buying Be, having a reverse acquisition with NeXT, Jobs taking over the reigns yet again, Sun doing a bunch of bad decisions. Nowadays, following the spirit of old Apple, they only care the UNIX underpinnings as good enough, and that's about it.
- rbanffy 7mo agoStill, they managed to bring Unix to the masses. On a RISC platform even. And their Unix is just fine.
- pjmlp 7mo agoUNIX had already won the server room by them with RISC. Lets not pretend outside IIS with ASP, later ASP.NET, Active Directory, Sharepoint, SQL Server, SMB, there were any other deployment scenarios left for Windows.
- rbanffy 7mo agoI have to confess I've never seen a modern .NET stack deployment on anything other than Linux.
