I have to say, after switching from Ubuntu to OSX I was not exactly blown away by the UI. Some things were done better, some things worse -- the mac might have an edge but it's a small one. And while I haven't wasted much time solving arcane problems, that's because the problems I do have seem to have no solution at all. On Linux, I can google for instructions, try a few things, and a few hours later I'll have fixed what was bugging me. On OS X I'm stuck with it.
