I'm not an Apple fan but this is very professionally done, it reminds me of the work an Orthopedic Sureon had me do for him years ago when I see the layout: http://researchkit.github.io/docs/docs/Overview/GuideOverview.html http://researchkit.github.io/docs/docs/Overview/GuideOvervie... The flow is consistent, step 1, step 2, etc. Something else that Apple makes I'm a fan of, CUPS Printing. It's also very professionally done. If we could only convince Apple to go Linux on everything!

Why does the kernel matter so much to you?

  He probably just doesn't like Mach. I don't blame 'im; L4 is far superior.

  I guess I was expressing that the stuff that Apple Open Sources seems genuine, legit, honest and I admire that. I guess as I get older I realize (sorry for all the I's) that maybe I should give Apple a second look, on all fronts.

    Sure, that makes sense, I just don't quite understand the "convince Apple to go Linux on everything" bit?? In terms of userland tools, OS X has pretty good compatibility with an average Linux distro (yes there are obvious differences between *BSD and GNU implementations of various tools). Personally I think you should give Apple a(nother) look in terms of a productive workstation machine, even if that's paired with/using services from/developing systems for Linux-based servers.

    I for one appreciated all the "I"s! To me it shows that you understand that you are expressing a subjective opinion, not a fact in the world. I think too many people express opinions as facts with puffy language. Compare yours to "Apple's admirable open source program is genuine and legit. If you've unfairly dismissed them in the past, give them a second look."

CUPS didn't originate with Apple (although they hired its author)

  He said Apple currently makes CUPS, not that it started with Apple...

    CUPS has a GPL exception for OS X software. [0] My interpretation of it is that it allows people to make proprietary printer drivers for OS X, making them useless on Linux. [0] http://cups.org/documentation.php/doc-2.0/license.html http://cups.org/documentation.php/doc-2.0/license.html
