Indeed, when I was taking programming classes, I could use the Unix command line, and compile my files with GCC. For programmers, there's also Xcode, which is standard with the Mac (or you can down it for free) and used by almost all professional Mac software engineers .

OSX has command is as powerful as UNIX since command line did not come in until OSX. So I'm not sure what you are eluding to as in power of the command line...

But yeah, UNIX cmd utilities >>>> Windows cmd utilities

So it's a Unix command line? Niiiiice.


Yes, it is, because effectively Mac OS X is a variant of Unix. Specifically, OS X is built on top of Darwin -- based on FreeBSD and the Mach microkernel.

As such, you can port a lot of Linux and Unix applications to OS X, etc.

Which is one of the reasons I keep saying that there's a LOT more to OS X than "eye candy"
