I think the list is fine, assuming you write the usual user apps.

The tricky part is for doing kernel programming (not something I do for work anyway, just a hobby). Things just easier on Linux. So, add VirtualBox to the list :D



Why (and how) would you do kernel programming on macOS when you’re not employed by Apple?


I'm not talking about macOS kernel programming, though. Instead: Linux, BSD, or any other open source OS...


I would assume that is always (or very often) easier on the target platforms. At least as long we’re not talking about embedded platforms.
