MacOS? Lots.

BSD? A few.

Hadn't asked, but I think the majority of both groups? At Ohio LinuxFest in 2013
Kirk McKusick was a guest, and he talked about how their youth outreach thingy
to bring new blood into BSD development was working very well.

Most mac users aren't devs, but if you become a dev and a mac is what's in front
of you... Even if it's homebrew, it's mac flavored. I did EMX on OS/2 back in
the day, and I was an OS/2 dev:

The similarity made the eventual switch to Linux easier, but not free...

"Windows Subsystem for Linux" means I don't have to care.

Long ago IBM added windows support to OS/2, basically their own version of Wine
built into the OS. Which meant nobody bothered to write native OS/2 software
anymore, since if they stuck to Win32s then OS/2 was also covered by shipping
windows programs. Microsoft doing its own Win-OS/2 in the other direction
decades later is... certainly a thing.
