Another programmer here. OSX software was terrible for development and the restrictions were high compared to windows until around Yosemite/2010.  I would say that the first OSX you could really use for writing software was 10.5 (after MacOS 7.5 totally lost the technology war against Win95 in 1995).

Microsoft now lost after almost 10 years of a total confusing strategy of constant creation and abandoning of so many short living technologies for desktop development.  Today they are stuck because they don’t wont do anything that could encourage people to continue using Windows 7 and the insane restrictions that sandboxed Universal Window Apps have.
