As a seasoned dev on OS X I'm not sure if I see the benefits here. You get the same set of instructions but lose (or rather, don't gain, as a beginner) the chance to use google-fu.

Thanks for your comment. I will be updating the code to add modularity in addition of improvements to make it easier to use and extend.

That would be great! I would love to have some mac specific commands, but I don't care for the lamp/magento/git commands.

Is there a way to install only the dependencies that one cares about?

Not only that, by abstracting cross platform commands for things like git you give up the knowledge which allows you to go to other platforms and work there. Unless this mac thing would be ported to linux, windows, etc.
