Yes, the best development applications is for linux and is both opensource and free of charge, witch enables you to fit in with YOU, Application/user support is very mature in comparison to almost any other paid-for substitute... and yes, the "buy only" software is ONLY substitute. I come to feel like OSX is a bit slow??? dunno. and simple tasks for anyone used linux before, like the easy copy/paste on the mouse. easy module handling ( I dont know about the rest. but Tiger really really really dont like modules. Good menusystems. osx lacks good menues. Try rename a file without the Terminal. Take ages to work out the workflow.
I got one thing to like OSX for, the handling of Airtunes, this little piece of hardware is pain with linux. I would like a simple measure to make Juk do the same, I guess that would run iTunes out o' business witch just comes to my mind also does not like 300gb with ogg/mp3 mix.
