1. OS/X is Unix[tm] and linux is a "Unix clone" so the operating system works the same and (for purposes of this debate) both run on the X86 ISA.
2. The first thing all the macbook developers do is install Homebrew or equivalent and install all the same packages that are installed in their linux deployment environment.
At that point, their OS/X development environment is effectively indistinguishable from their linux deployment environment.
