Don't be put off by this - it's certainly not my (nor many, many other
people's) experience of programming on OS X.

>From my experience, it rocks as a place to program:

- If you want to write Mac or iPhone code, XCode is an amazing IDE
- If you want to write stuff to deploy onto a Unix server, you have all the
tools, libraries and stuff already working (OS X is Unix under the hood) -
but cf Linux the available tools (editors etc) are superior.
- If you want to write Windows code then you can run a Windows VM and have
everything safely sealed off
- It's all wrapped in a package that "just works" and gets out of the way.
So you don't have to spend hours twiddling obscure X-Windows settings to get
a desktop that works. Oh, and the battery life is good.
