It really has. I was pretty surprised to find myself settling on KDE after switching to Ubuntu, but with a few add ons and a fair amount of customization, I feel like I have an environment that I mesh with better than I ever did with OS X - which is saying something from someone who used a Mac from the age of 5. And it did require quite a lot of digging around to get everything behaving the way I wanted, but unlike Unity or even GNOME, the things I wanted to customize were easily configurable. Well, except for mapping the meta key (by itself) to launch Synapse. That was a pain.
