yay, another rant into the OS wars. and like all of them, flawed from the outset - this guy is happy with Linux or BSD, and nothing will ever top that.. alas, this is not the final flaw in this article; swipey bullshit - can be disabled. explore system preferences. why customise perfection - bullshit with a hint of straw man. OS X is not perfect, i think there are few people that claim that. perfection would preclude any more work on the OS. want GCC? install it. it's not hard. proof, % uname && gcc --version Darwin gcc (GCC) 4.9.2 Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE botched package management - OS X doesn't have a native one, yes. in my experience, they all suck. and for someone that wants to know everything that's going on, i'd be surprised if he didn't build from source for everything. horrible developer workflow - what? firstly, it's so similar to linux, what is he talking about? i don't know any OS X users that build on a virtual machine, unless they are wishing to replicate the exact running environment of a system. in which case, people do that on linux too. filesystem pollution - aha! the first almost valid complaint! although it's in a compliment sandwich kind of format - bullshit, valid complaint, more bullshit. System is for OS X internals resources and libraries. Library is common resources for applications. done. but here it comes, a valid complaint! yes! HFS+ is terrible. apple very nearly did switch to ZFS a long time ago, alas it fell through for some unknown reason. shame. HFS+ is case sensitive, although the default option for Apple is to disable this behaviour. whilst i do not like this, when you consider that they're aiming for windows converts.. well.. hardware - all EFI firmware is proprietary. apple don't have an open-source update tool, but so what? most UEFI motherboards have an auto-updater built into their firmware. good luck finding the source for that. this guy loves linux. so stick with it. have your hidden partition of OS X on a removable drive (because you can do that) for firmware updates. or use a regular laptop. the article had as much content in as an article titled "i ate a faal curry.. and it was too spicy for me!"
