Interesting, a company that people claim uses its monopoly over computing unfairly being called irrelevant.

'Fresh' and 'new' aren't two words I think of when considering Unix, given its 43 years old.

This difficult as 'developers' make up such a small fraction of a percentage of computer users and their needs are so unique its actually counter to what the every day user needs or wants. I think Developers have become their own worst enemies because of the insane processes, methodologies, tool etc they have created for no other reason then creation sake. There isn't any proof that any of these things has actually improved the development process or user experience, in many ways I think developers have lost focus and are now floundering.
Apple does and it didn't make anything better.
