you don't need a man page for that.

most people aren't tinkerers. there's no market for tinkerers.

i you want to tinker, get a linux box and spend your days tinkering
rather than doing actual work.

None of those are programs end users need to interact with; so end user
documentation is of questionable value. I am sure Apple has plenty of
internal documentation about them.

Apple is targetting the hipster Starbucks crowd, not the IT geeks who
know Unix. Another example of the Unix side no longer being pushed,
Apple no longer includes X windows with OS-X.

I don't even know what a hipster is. People who get their coffee from
Starbucks are suckers who don't know what good coffee is. I know *nix
better than many of the people I know and work with and am highly paid
for my IT skills by major employers in the field. The fact that X
windows is an optional install, or that Unix tools that I never interact
with aren't documented with man pages, doesn't bother me one single bit.
As usual, you're full of shit, and clearly don't have a good
understanding of Apple or Apple's real customers.

Yosemite removes X-windows from the system. It is no longer an optional
install, no longer supplied by Apple (although Apple supports the people
who maintain it).

That is a good example of Apple moving OS-X away from Unix.

As it should be. Apple doesn't need to provide things it doesn't have an
interest in maintaining. The community may provide it, if they wish. If
not, that's on them. Users may install it at their option, making it an
optional install.

> That is a good example of Apple moving OS-X away from Unix.

No, it's an example of Apple doing what every other major operating
system vendor does: removing things it no longer maintains or supports.
Unix and Linux distributions do it too. If part of the base OS is no
longer supported or maintained, it may be removed by later versions -
especially for things that are moving out of the support channel. If you
are working in the IT field and you aren't flexible and knowledgeable
enough to be able to get shit done under less-than-ideal circumstances,
you don't deserve to call yourself an IT worker - you're nothing more
than a button pusher, and we can safely outsource your job to the lowest
payers in India or halfway across the globe without losing any skill.
I've worked in this field all of my life and I can count on one hand the
number of times I've actually needed an X windows server on my Macs. The
fact that it is an optional install is a non-issue. Real IT workers
adapt and overcome - others whine and get nothing done.

Way to ignore just about everything I wrote. Your suggestion is ignorant
and laughable. Previous OS X versions made installing and using X11 more
problematic due to the fact that Apple mixed free open source software
with their own proprietary software to get the job done. XQuartz, in
comparison is fully open-source and Apple developers contribute heavily
to it, as they always have. Also, X11 is rife with its own set of
security issues, and making it an optional install actually increases
security for the vast majority of users who don't need it there to begin
with. Like I said, I've been in the IT field all my life and can count
on one hand the number of times I've needed X11 on my Mac. It's just
not something many people actually need. And Apple has done similar
things with command-line tools installed by Xcode, like gcc, git and so
on. Now we have a fully open source X11 environment and can install
command-line compilers and so on without having to install Xcode, if we
wish. These are big improvements. If you truly believe Apple doesn't
know that every tech giant and startup plasters their offices with Macs
and Apple gadgets to attract the highly-desirable smartest & best *nix
geeks, developers, and other IT workers in the field, you're a fool. And
if you can't figure out how to do something as simple as install
XQuartz, you probably should change to a less demanding field of work. : )

It is no longer an optional install. Not even available on the App
store. You must hunt down an install kit on the web.

Optional software is not installed by default. You may install it if you
wish. If all you're left with is playing word games, we can end this
discussion now. You lose.

anyone who is masochistic enough to want to use x11 knows where to find
it.

meanwhile the rest of the world uses far better mainstream apps without
any of the hassles.

To shift away they would have to have at some point been relying on it.

They haven't.

All Apple has done is take advantage of the happy accident that was the 
fact that Mac OS X had some Unix roots.

That's one way of looking at it.  Another way would be to say that, 
Apple has relied on the Unix layer as a fundamental part of the entire 
environment, even though it's hidden away from the user most of the 
time.

If Apple's merely taking advantage of this happy accident, why bother 
with any command line utilities at all?  They do develop and ship new 
user-accessible command line utilities with practically every release.  
These are often documented.

In choosing a Unix core to replace the good old single user without
pre-emptive multitasking MacOS, Apple not only evolved its OS, but also
opened it up to serious and scientific programmers AND made it possible
to quickly port many Unix commercial/serious applications.

When you have a brand spanking new OS, making it easy to bring in a lot
of new apps is important.

And the fact that even some Apple apps "spawned" supbrocesses that
called unix level functions (hence that problem with Itunes) indicates
that even Apple used the Unix finctionality under the hood, just as CDE,
DECwindows, KDE and others have done.

With "Back to Mac", Apple seems to have decided that it no longer needed
the Unix users and wanted instead to get those iPhone users to buy Macs
and as such, the Unix side became less important.

And that is a problem with proprieraty operating systems: the vendor can
change direction with the wind, leaving the installed base stranded
because the vendor is now seeking a different market to grow and is
letting go of one of the original market niche.

Nice try, but nope. Apple hasn't decided to abandon us Unix users, no
matter how often you make that claim. As a representative of Unix users,
I can say we are still quite happy with Mac OS X, and we also appreciate
all of the "Back to Mac" features such as Continuity and so on that make
working with Macs and iOS devices easier than ever. One doesn't have to
give up Unix goodness to have great usability. The two are not mutually
exclusive, as you suggest. Apple understands this far better than you
apparently do.

If you are stranded, it's of your own doing. The rest of us are happy
with Apple's direction. Maybe you should stop trying to speak for all of
us and just speak for yourself instead.

It's true though.  Apple will go whichever way the wind flowing from 
Tim Cook takes them.  It seems to me that he's probably far more 
interested in selling iPhones to developing nations than he is in 
keeping OS X from unraveling.

It will be a bit of a pain to go back to a Free OS, and I will miss OS 
X in general, but I like to think that I don't have Stockholm Syndrome.

X11 is no longer included with OS X, but X11 server and client
libraries for OS X are available from the XQuartz
project: http://xquartz.macosforge.org. You should use the latest
available version of XQuartz. 

Learn more
*Apple* *created* *the* *XQuartz* *project* as a community effort to
further develop and support X11 on OS X***. The XQuartz project was
originally based on the version of X11 included in Mac OS X v10.5.
There have been multiple releases of XQuartz with fixes, support for
new OS X features, and additional refinements to the X11 experience.
Apple is a contributor to the XQuartz project and has worked to ensure
that X11 works as expected in OS X with the latest available versions
of XQuartz. 

(emphasis added)  Seems to me that Apple isn't moving OS X away from
unix.

who gives a shit about x-windows? the number of people who use
x-windows are too few to bother with and they tend to be geeks who get
off on doing things the hard way anyway.
