> I love TextMate, too! Something you might find nice is how easy it is to run Mac in a VM on Linux; there are scripts that manage the entire thing for you, and it's pretty painless (and so fast; I was surprised).

That would be excellent! I like the idea of swapping host and guest with this VM strategy, sort of evolutionary platform switching.

Take a look at this! It's pretty simple; it just fetches macOS and then gives you a shell script that launches qemu with a few flags:

Really, really fast, and fairly painless.
