Aren't these just a subset of what you can get on OSX?

On OSX, as well as the FOSS tools you can also choose from a set of nicely tailored Cocoa apps, some free and some worth paying for.



Actually, in my experience, it's quite difficult to get Unix-style development tools running on OS X. There's a whole basis of Unix software and development headers you have to install first, whereas Linux has a package manager for that.


What about macports?


Not nearly as extensive as any Linux package manager. I've tried.
