Is UNIX An OS?

The authos is confusing the issue.
He seems incapable of making the distinction between OS and _applications_ running on that
OS. This is not surprising given his Mac background where everything is integrated into one monolythic bloc.
I am a software engineer also and have never liked
the way the MacOS+Applications have me, as a user, removed a couple of steps from the underlying machine.
I have never owned a Mac and probably never will. Not becasue they're bad machines, they're excellent for what they're intended, but they don't give me what I need/want from a computer.
