If you're a developer, almost all the killer apps support Linux first. But you're right that this is the deal breaker

I am a developer and most of my killer tools have their place on macOS and Windows.

Compiling or getting the latest version of any kind of CLI dev tools on either platforms is considerably more difficult than Linux.

Not all developers care about UNIX CLI tools.

I care about CLI tools developed for macOS and Windows in mind, that take advantage of the respective OS APIs.

Considering vim has no required dependencies, I would be very concerned if it didn't work on OS X.
