Mac OS X The Mac platform was always considered a premium platform, hence much of its software is shareware or commercial. In the recent days more freeware applications have emerged, but the majority are small utilities and not full scale applications. Enter the world of GNU which can not only provide "free" applications as in beer, but most importantly, "Free", as in Freedom.

I'm not ranting about ports or Apple using some GPL software ;)
Just - you admit it - what you like in OSX is the desktop experience. Aga, "bells and whistles" that make a difference.
And they can't be but native btw, the post following yours makes a point. Same goes with Windows, same goes with Linux.
Port whatever you want, use whatever you want... Just mind why you like that proprietary os that much ;)
