I also wonder. I don't think I ever ran into a single thing that works on Linux but does not on OS X.

It's all about the extra pain. (or the lack thereof)

Never mind that nowadays we have the linux version of "all the world's a VAX" syndrome. Not every OS has utilities that obey all the occult incantations of the GNU versions…

I'd encourage every Linux developer to get a similar setup with a BSD version – or even just an older and/or different Linux distro.

Valgrind on Lion.

LXC (obviously).
