Why try to get Linux tools on your Mac in the first place? You don't see guys fighting to get Mac tools on Linux, so why does it happen the other way around? Perhaps they picked the wrong hardware and OS? I don't understand what you mean by "hacker OS" though? If you mean an OS that I can write code on, all mainstream OSes apply. If you mean an OS that I can constantly fight to get hardware working on and where the windowing paradigm shifts according to the whims of the incoming teenage developers (see the CADT model), then OSX doesn't fit in. (I use Linux, just not any recent WM thanks). But I agree with you otherwise; not trying to pick a fight.
