| `grep -P` kinda annoying. GNU has Perl-compatible regex, and BSD does not. You're reaching for `perl` or installing `ggrep` the moment you need a lookbehind. |

| Is it still shipping with that ancient bash, the awful Iterm and without a package manager? I haven't used OSX for a while. |

| ▲ | wolvoleo 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | No. Zsh is now standard, though it still included an old optional version of bash. Apple hates GPLv3 that's why they moved away from bash. The terminal app is not iterm. But Apple's own Terminal.app And no there's no package manager but there's brew and macports. | | |
| ▲ | realusername 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I didn't know it was an homemade terminal, it's just that it looked old and abandoned compared to your average Linux distribution. |
