Programmers have only ever programmed on Windows to target the customer base there. I use OSX, Windows and Linux regularly and I'd much rather develop under Linux. OSX isn't a good *nix when it comes to packages and all that open source at your finger tips is what makes Linux so good. I don't find much functional difference in the UIs of those operating systems.

- dazzawazza 17y agoOS X has a pretty complete set ports tree from FreeBSD (http://www.macports.org/ http://www.macports.org/). I haven't found anything that didn't compile either from ports or from a tarball. You just need to know UNIX and not just Linux.
- greendestiny 17y agoIts more work to get things working from ports or compiling on OSX. My point isn't that somehow OSX is somehow fundamentally flawed - just that open source software works easier on Linux. Only because thats what the majority of open source is targeted at to be sure.
