What mattered on A/UX for application developers on Apple platforms was the System APIs layer ported to run on top of X Windows integration.
Likewise, anyone doing NeXT development was focused on Objective-C frameworks all the way down to driver kit.
As Application developer on a NeXT, the tune was all about WebObjects, Renderman, EOF.
Applications like Lotus Improv, Wingz, and those being put out by Omni Group were the meat of the kind of applications that people considered to use NeXTSTEP, not BSD command line utilities.
Pretty much patent on commercials like NeXT vs Sun.
AIX is definitly UNIX, because it isnt' like A/UX, NeXTSTEP, OS X or iOS, where the UNIX layer is there more to bring stuff into the platform, while the main developer stack is something else.
