To me Apple is in a weird place also as far as Mac sales go because Macs fill two niches: (1) people like you (and me) who like to run OSX because its the most stable way to run a modern UNIX system, and (2) people who want a computer that "just works" and looks pretty and are willing to pay for it.
This results in some weirdness for the techies because you're constantly having to fight Apple's "user friendly" features in order to get the system to behave the way you want, but you don't really have an alternative except jumping to Linux and all the issues that entails.
