Your reason seems to be that the things you need Linux to do it just doesn't do as easily or as intuitively (for you) as OS X or Windows. I think that's a common and reasonable assertion and likely to be at the root of why we haven't and likely won't see some mass exodus of non-Linux users to Linux OS's. I dual boot Ubuntu with Windows 7, and the only reason Windows is around is for gaming... every time I boot into it I find myself mildly irritated at the differences between it and what I'm now used to. I've tried a few times but being productive at work-related tasks in Windows is no longer possible for me. So it does work both ways: What you're used to will always feel more, well, useful than what you're not. But because most of the computer-using world is used to Windows, it certainly is a largely one-sided problem (for those of us who choose to call it a problem).
