Yeah, no. I've never bought the "hostile to developers" argument. Try again.

"When you you do robotics, you want full control over the software"

And OS X gives me this.

Maybe you don't realize that "software" includes the kernel. Is it even possible to do a real-time fork of it like people did with RTLinux, RTAI and Xenomai?

Of course it's not, because OS X gives you shit and you invested so much in it already that you have to convince yourself that it tastes good.
