I know a lot of Mac developers that love the Sublime text editor.  And
if you combine it with https://github.com/lunixbochs/actualvim, it's
even better.

Personally OS X's focus policy drives me absolutely bonkers as a
developer.  And I can't function without alt-middle clicking to size
windows and alt-click to move windows.

You can always run a virtual machine on OS X and have the best of both
worlds.
