On Why Open Source Developers run Mac OS X

OS X is not perfect, the real problem for me is that some people just think it is

My main problem with OS X is that Alt + D (plus Alt + B and Alt + F) just don't work as it should, like in any sane Terminal, there's no difference between Alt and Alt Gr on a Mac, sad, very sad. Also I would love to see a real package manager, pkgutil is horrible...

Thanks! Now, I am happy with "Terminal.app".

You can get the alt key to function properly in the terminal. Look here:
