It has been on every Macintosh since Apple released Mac OS X in 2001. Together with vi and vim and awk and yacc and everything else :-)

I still use vi some times to edit simple text files ("vim" is for sissies ;-) ). And the "native" C compiler in the Macintosh Terminal for small programs. Mostly not to completely lose old skills. Other times I use the Arduino C/C++ editor and compiler, run the program on an attached arduino board and watch the results in the "serial monitor" window on my Mac. Or on a little display attached to the Arduino. Recently I simulated a small three-body-problem for an amateur astronomer buddy that way. Of course one could also use Matlab (or the free version Scilab) to do that but that would be too easy.
