The only reason I use macos at all is because it's unixy. I spend most of my time in full screen X11 using many programs and languages from macports. Even without X11, macports makes it easy to install and upgrade lots of software that would otherwise be cumbersome to install individually, let alone keep up to date. I wasn't even aware that Apple supported macports. Apple doesn't really support X11 like it used to either and it doesn't work quite as well as it does under Linux but it'll do.
Which is pretty much what I do; to me, it's just another Unix box with windows (no, not that one) on it, and I get to use my favourite tools without stuffing around inside a Gooey.
It's also a porting platform, along with FreeBSD and Debian. -- Dave
