Exactly. As I said I do not care what is a "UNIX". I do care what a system
does for me. And I like the Unix-like features... have said that since LONG
before macOS.

if DOS were a combo of UNIX and Mac it would be cool. I
just wish we had something that combined the two. In theory
that is the way both UNIX and Mac are growing

<http://goo.gl/EDip> Jul 19 1995 <3ujt0s$535@news.nevada.edu>
-----
But UNIX does have some advantages over the Mac... a CLI
would be a great addition to the Mac. I would say that
between Mac and UNIX you have the best operating systems
around.

The Mac is not the end all in computer technology. Where it
fails, UNIX excels. Between the two, there is almost no task
that computers would be used for that can not be done. And
one or the other will beat the competition in almost every
area.
