Linux is not unix. Just because they have shared packages does not make them the same. If you implied that Darwin and Linux are types of unix. Unix is for all intensive purposes is mostly dead now. While Darwin kernel is based on BSD kernel and BSD (used to be) is based on Unix, Linux is not unix. Linux has its own kernel now.
Zzzz... Really? Don't assume you're talking to an idiot.

And Linux/Mac has a Unix-like command line interface, so who cares about the kernel in this context. I think it is correct to refer to them collectively as Unix CLI's, since the command shells derive from Unix.

For example, if you do a "man ls" on Mac, you see at the end:
"HISTORY
An ls command appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX."

Lol, We also refer to it as unix in the office because *nix is harder to slip into conversation.
We still have some active unix sites but 95% these days is linux.

Sure, but you kind of miss the point though.
1st it was unix, everything that followed was modelled on this, and most of tool code sets were moved across unchanged like e.g. xterm.
Hence to refer to Linux and Darwin (OSX) toolsets as unix is not wrong & anyone arguing this is probably just a unix newbie, or anal retentive

/stares at enterprise servers

Just because they're set to boot to the command line doesn't mean you don't have Ubuntu Desktop on them!

You know you got startx for when the trouble starts ;)
