No love for BSDs?

Does anyone use any BSD distributions other than OS X? ;)

Yes. I use FreeBSD on production and dev servers. I use OpenBSD for other uses unrelated as well. Darwin is based off of FBSD. NetBSD runs anywhere, and OpenBSD is one of the most security-concious operating systems.

Just because some people use Apple's shiny new fad doesn't mean everyone does.

A 10 year old operating system is a new fad?

Sorry, I meant to convey the idea of Macs often being fashion statements. All the cool, hip kids use it to build their social coupon webapp weekend startup from a coworking space in RoR with a NoSQL backend while listening to indie rock.

Well I gotta admit you have a point, that's pretty much me except with Lil Wayne instead of indie rock.

I would never use RoR for my social coupon webapp. ;P

And most of it dates back to NeXTSTEP in 1989.
