- More commercial software available (photoshop, etc).
- OS X is required if you need to run xcode
- Easier to upgrade to the next version of the OS, without having to do a full reinstall
- Better binary compatibility. (Pretty minor issue).
>What turns me off OS X is the lack of a good package manager with up to date packages. Has this changed?

- striking 10y ago> full reinstall You need to fully reinstall your Linux install every upgrade? That might be a symptom of Ubuntu usage, but many other distros handle upgrades gracefully. Arch is an example of this.
- cpncrunch 10y agoPerhaps it depends on the distro. You certainly have to reinstall to upgrade to a new version of CentOS (which is what I use on all my servers).
