Guys, don't make silly excuses - somehow OS X managed to appeal to both developers and everyday users, so it's not impossible technically, is it? Why are you so sure? How many kernel developers use MacOS X? When people tried to push MacOS on me I went to great length to finally get coveted Linux laptop... Our Techstop has tons of MacBooks here and very few laptops suitable for Linux because apparently "noone wants them" yet somehow there are a waitlist for Linux laptop.

A *lot* of userspace Unix developers use MacOS X, if just as a terminal. There are developers who aren't kernel developers. (In fact that would be the vast majority of them.)

I bought a Mac Mini because I needed it for porting code to OS X (lulz, Macs are accepted as gaming machines now, who'd ever have expected that?) and iOS development.
I'm already using it more often for general non-OSX-specific UNIX-y development than I do Linux. :)
