        I don't think the requirement was a "serious development machine";  
just whether one could survive. I don't think you could use a Mac as a  
"serious development machine" without using Terminal constantly, but  
the vast majority of Mac users don't even know that Terminal exists.  
Similarly, you could use Linux for email, web browsing, word  
processing, spreadsheets... IOW, all the stuff that most people do  
every day, and never touch a command line.
