Couldn't you use VM, or double boot? It's clear that OP, just like you, are not in the market for OS X (I am not even talking about windows, or probably ant proprietary OS). For me, OS X is the best option, I do not need to deal with Linux intricate setup, but I can develop software I want to develop. OS X, in my case, is developer friendly, just enough so I can do what I want, and casually friendly enough so I do not need to worry about some (broken) things, I do not want to be in my way (FileVault, Time Machine, printing[1] and any other nice feature for everyday normal guy[2] (mail/picture/pdf annotation, continuity, Photo/Video editors)). I want to stress, that I know that many equivalent software and features exist in Linux world, though usually it is much more troublesome to use. Not everyone is (or want to be) Linux guru, rockstar hacker or simply willing to solve bugs or errors for and at uncertain time. Simply, Linux vs OS X is a flame war without any point. Everyone has a subjective opinion and discussion must end there.
