Great, now try to make an application following Apple HIG with those POSIX calls.



Can you make an application on Linux using POSIX APIs? How about on Android? Your argument seems to be macOS is not a UNIX because POSIX doesn’t specify a GUI toolkit, but this is quite frankly absurd.


What is absurd is the way every UNIX afficionado is trying to turn my words around.

I talk about the culture of the application developers and what Apple developers that are on the platform since the System days care about, and keep being told Mac OS X is an UNIX.

Of course it is one, that is not the point being made.
