I want to add that since OS X is UNIX, all of the true tools that Linux and FreeBSD users are accustomed to run of a Mac. I prefer my OSS software, but I am more than willing to code on a Mac. That is what a lot of us do everyday.
I don't think this is about intelligence. I believe this is more of a true freedom issue. The World Wide Web has opened people's minds to something they fail to realize in other areas of society. Namely, that we, the people, are the absolute power. Whether we are talking about a website, a business, or a country the fact remains that those who produce are the true rulers. It is a clever ruse to convince the masses otherwise.
Digg failed to realize that this natural impulse towards truth is alive in many web based social networks. They allowed the Digg community to make this clear. Maybe this correct understanding of ownership and power will catch on in places other than technology focused web networks. Then we may finally see a society for the people by the people rather than for the rich and deceiving and by the people.
