One obvious thing is OSX runs on top of a BSDish architecture. So while using Macos 9 or Windows could be painful in some respects, OSX has a shell etc. similar to Linux already. Prior to Ubuntu, this was a no-brainer, setting up things like a wireless adapter could be a trial. I run Ubuntu on a System76 laptop and have been happy with it. I like being able to get the source for everything I use and be able to patch it.
