I always keep a virtual machine with some flavor of linux installed on my Macbook Pro. I like to see the progress that's been made and just to try something different for a while. I am used to linux and have used it pretty extensively, and I enjoy it. What I find to be my main blockers are related to working with other people who are using OS X / Windows. I agree that this is mostly the fault of vendors. Skype and Team Viewer come to mind as applications that support linux but always keep you a few versions back, thus not having support for some features that the rest of your team is using on OS X / Windows. Ultimately I just get tired of messing the little things that bug me with linux, that I know just work on OS X. It was well said by someone else in the thread that linux is a lifestyle and I can't agree more with that.
