Most everything in ports also runs on Linux. I've never used the Linuxulator.
Some of my favorite apps are jucipp, notecase (deprecated and no longer available), svn, git, clang, hexchat, iridium, monodevelop and micro (vt text editor). I use Iridium (instead of Chrome or Firefox). I also play with nginx and postgresql with fastcgi.
I run genuine Apache OpenOffice for the eyebrows it raises.
I briefly played with Electron but I'm not big on JS.
