I like OSX and I like Windows, have been a professional dev on both platforms. I totally understand where the post is coming from, but as a life long mac user, this is my perspective :)

I think the two big, major things the author missed are 1) OSX "power users" tend to be UNIX nerds, so doing things from the terminal is easy natural for them, and even if GUIs did exist they would probably go unused. While PowerShell is great, it is almost more of a scripting environment. UNIX is in my bones :) 2) When you buy a mac, expect to drop another 100-200$ on software to make it awesome (it is still reasonably easy to survive as a 1-2 man dev shop writing mac software as shareware, so there is a LOT of amazing shareware out there). By contrast, on windows, there is less software of that level of quality out there, but most of it is free. Good or bad, it is what it is, and has been that way for as long as I have had a mac (system 7 days)

Thoughts on Angular

Overall, very impressed by how far the have come in the last year and a half or so. They have addressed probably the biggest issue I had with it last time I looked (how clunky it was to create even simple directives), the community is MUCH larger then it was, which has mitigated the second biggest issue (insufficient documentation)

The things I don't like thing is kind of big, but thats because its a combination of "dont like" with "don't understand" and "doing completely wrong", and at this point I don't really know enough about it to tell the difference :)

Things I Like

• The view reaching into the JS means there is a class of wiring up / coordination code that doesn't need to exist.

    function bindRange(scope, el, attrs){
      var getFrom = $parse(attrs.pickFrom);
      var setFrom = getFrom.assign;
      var getTo = $parse(attrs.pickTo);
      var setTo = getTo.assign;
      var time = hasTime(attrs);

      function updateField(){
        var from = getFrom(scope);
        var to = getTo(scope);

Simple js class abstraction

Basically it is backbones self-propegating extend method, slightly hacked up to allow the definition of __name__. Defining this means that you will never end up seeing child when looking at your class in the dev tools. Also adds a define method for creating singletons.
