This isn't worth discussing.

This is probably the best option in this thread. Honestly it's not so much about the tools you use, rather than how you use them. Compatibility also a big deal, and probably the only reason I have a Windows install.

The reason most people love Linux, is because it's an open environment where you're not restricted by pretty much anything. The other main reason is because it's a UNIX like OS, which Mac's OS X also is so it doesn't have anything on it there.


EDIT: With regards to people claiming Adobe products run better on OS X, I'd completely agree. They run smoother and generally just work faster. There's probably a pile of factors that contribute to this, such as Adobe being able to optimize their products (due to the far smaller range of hardware Apple products are sold as), and also things such as the difference between the systems really work at the core. IMO OS X, knowing it's UNIX based, is pretty nice.
