Sorry, I was merely given an OSX machine at work. Apparently 10.5 didn't refresh xcode, or something. I don't know the details -- this particular layer isn't something I focus my efforts on.

I also recall that several piece of software just failed to install completely. Twisted web and the Divmod stack, for example. And multicore usage wasn't really very good compared with Ubuntu. And the macbook kept seizing up at random, a few times a week.

My overall impression was 'this isn't better than Ubuntu.' Maybe I just got a bad start? I wouldn't mind trying it again, but if I had to install something from scratch, I'd use Ubuntu.
