> whatever outdated garbage userspace Apple is shipping with macOS
Is that a criticism of the FreeBSD userspace? Because that's where much of Apple's UNIX userspace is derived from, and they're regularly synced with upstream.
How much of macOS is actually still upstream BSD. I was under the impression they were slowly ripping it all out and replacing it (launchd, different logging subsystem, different file paths/directories)
I assume the parent is referring to command line utilities like sed, awk, and coreutils. The examples you're referring to are Apple's own software and not forks, so it'd be weird to call them "outdated."
