Then you are pretty much aware that until OS X, Mac OS developers and users hardly cared about command line.

Most would only get it via MPW, and outside automating compiler workflows, hardly open the terminal.



That was almost 30 years ago.

People on classic Mac weren’t making web apps running on Linux servers.


Doesn't change the point of culture.

Also many of those people, if they want to deploy on Linux servers, they would be better off using local Linux development, not OS X.


Even if someone exclusively writes software that ends up running on Linux servers, doesn't mean they don't appreciate various nice Mac-exclusive applications as a user during their workday.

An example: I love everything about the Things task management app so much that I would never choose to run a desktop OS it doesn't run on.
