Try to run Krita, Clementine/Amarok, KDevelop or smalltalk on OS X. Not because you can't, but because the above are better apps and a nicer experience than the Apple equivalents. Once you get out of Apple's walled garden (and reality distortion field), you might find you like it better.
I use all major consumer OSes. The point here is about the missing features OS X on Darwin, not about alternatives that aren't native OS X.
If that were true, you would've known about the apps I mentioned.
I seem to be responding to your anti-Free Software posts everywhere in this thread.
And then you'll have a bad copy of a bad copy. The fit and finish of linux desktops, especially KDE, are nowhere near as good as the Mac, and adding a theme which kind of sort of makes it look like OS X only serves to highlight where it doesn't match up. As a long time Mac user and now Linux user the only desktop which is vaguely tolerable is Elementary OS as at least someone there with a good eye for detail went thr…
Macs are nowhere near as usable as Linux systems in any respect, especially at the GUI level. The Mac GUI is just, fundamentally, a mistake Apple made in the 1980s and never moved on from. Even Jobs recognized the Mac's error when he made NeXT, which now lives on in WindowMaker.
Which doesn't offer the necessary XCode features for Darwin to be an OS X replacement.
We were talking about KDE and GNOME, not OSX replacement. "Right, where's XCode on KDE or GNOME? MIA of course. Where is the XCode equivalent IDE on GNOME or KDE? MIA, unfortunately." I'm curious as to which features you think are missing.
We are on "PureDarwin – An Informal Successor to OpenDarwin" thread.
It is all about having a OS X clone, not yet another GNU/Linux userspace clone.

We are on "PureDarwin – An Informal Successor to OpenDarwin" thread. It is all about having a OS X clone, not yet another GNU/Linux userspace clone. So I am missing: - Objective-C 2.1 support - Swift - Swift Playground - Storyboards - Plist editor - Instruments - Core Data - ...
none of which matter in GNOME or KDE, which is what this thread (great grandparent on) has been about.

"Without the whole Objective-C/Swift userspace libraries it will just look like OS X, but it won't be OS X."
"I cannot seat a Mac OS X user, or developer in front of it, and they will be able to use it just like Mac OS X."
