This is true, but there are quite a few high quality applications that that kind of culture enables as well. I would gladly pay for an ftp app as nice and polished as Transmit 4 on Linux, but as far as I know one doesn't exist. Not that there isn't great software on Linux, but I enjoy the emphasis placed on design by the Mac community when it comes to the top applications.
