I used to have an OS/X setup for development, but I couldn't maintain it.
So now I use Frescobaldi on OS/X for production work, and do my
development in a LilyDev VM.

We're not forcing Debian/Ubuntu (as far as I can see, LilyDev3 is just
Debian, no Ubuntu involved).  We're just providing something that works
out of the box.

Thanks,
