I've been using OpenBSD or FreeBSD or Linux as my primary desktop OS since about 1996.. As of last week, all my laptop/desktop usage is now Mac OS.
The Linux desktop experience really isn't that much better than it was in the Helix Gnome days and as I get older I want to fiddle less with my OS, and just work on some ideas I have brewing.
I should point out that back then I was a kernel hacker type, and my ideas were kernel based (for work and play). But now they are userland based, and Mac provides an awesome platform for that without getting in the way.
