Let's be fair

Let’s be fair here for a moment. The majority of people I work with (at a fairly large IT firm) and the majority of people that I know personally have switched to OS X recently from Linux/Solaris/FreeBSD/Windows/etc. simply because it is the best overall system out there. While the tools inherent in OS X are generally UNIX-based, nobody is claiming otherwise. But, to be fair, Linux and other UNIX-like OS’s (besides OS X) never have and probably never will be usable to the mainstream general public. And honestly, with how great OS X is for both hard-core development and everyday use, it doesn’t look like that will ever change. So, if these kinds of articles are out on the internet, exposing a broader and more diverse audience to the power of UNIX-based tools, then more power to them. And you should be supporting these kinds of articles, not bashing them. You are only shooting yourself in the foot.
