"The same way that MacOS used to be a Unix-alike, but isn't any more, either."

The Open Group would disagree.




Assuming you mean the SUS, I'd argue there's a big difference between "meets the standard" and "feels like an actual unix".

Personally, I'd call OS X unix-like but not unix-alike, which perhaps sounds like hair splitting but having admined multiple unices there's definitely a difference, even if I can't figure out how exactly to articulate it beyond "it doesn't feel the same".
