The rise of a MacOS sort of monoculture certainly affected those developers that were still on Windows. It drove me off of Windows, a system that I otherwise appreciated just fine. I never cared much for MacOS, though, so I went to Linux, but there I'm also constantly feeling the pain of so many developers being on MacOS, as there's so many incompatibilities between the two. So, in the end I guess I prefer things that run everywhere, which this Parrot thing may be in reach of, it being Electron? In that sense I guess I support the ask for a MacOS version. But boy, could the MacOS crowd just stop throwing their weight around?
Edit:
Examples:
* Tools that are only available on MacOS (remember the days when tools were only available on Windows)
* I write a BASH script which then doesn't work for the MacOS coworkers
* Tools that are supposedly platform- independent have Linux-specific errors that get no love because their developers don't care about Linux
I think it's a little much to expect most small outfits to user test on every single Linux distro though. There are tons of programs that may run fine on something like stock Ubuntu, but bring it to another flavor and all of a sudden nothing works.
