Sounds a lot like me, and I'm phasing out most of my monitor-connected Linux boxes in favor of Apple machines. For me it was mostly about Gnome more than Linux per se. I can't stand GConf. I dislike how NetworkManager is in a constant state of flux. Gnome Do has had some hilarious 99% CPU usage bugs. (And KDE is simply a non-starter for me.) Like the others say, the Linux situation is constantly improving, and I'm not averse to moving back at some point. There are things I miss, and there are things that aren't perfect on the Mac too, but if something is annoying me to the point where I don't want to use it, not using it always seems like more of an option on the Mac than it ever did on Gnome/Linux. There are a lot of neat tricks that aren't essentially part of the standard Mac OS X setup that are very nice. My favorite recent one is the ability to add custom keybindings for many emacsish editing commands to all standard text fields with a very simple configuration file.
