I have to use OS X sometimes for work. It's still a general-purpose operating system, and you can still run arbitrary programs on it. It is closer to BSD than Linux, aside from the GUI layer. But it ships with a working X server, and it has a working C compiler, so st worked fine until a few commits ago right out of the box. I use it when I use OS X because I like using the same tools everywhere. And I use suckless tools because their simplicity makes them easy to port everywhere. I will never be at home the way one can be in a system built one's self, but my preferred working environment is not so complex that I can't replicate it almost anywhere I need it. So regardless of Steven's goals, I appreciate his efforts that will, in the end, make the time I spend wading in the GUI sewage of OS X so much less painful.
