The day I see a Linux distro put together as coherent an experience as OS X is the day I'll agree to that.
Even in it's supposed decline, OS X still manages to put together a more compelling UX story than every Linux distro I've ever tried.
I get that some people don't really care about the UX their OS provides as long as there's a terminal and deem GUIs as unproductive for those who "really know what they're doing" (I often hear something about moving from their keyboard to their mouse taking too long?) but to me it's paramount.
I spend a lot of my life using a computer and I need my desktop environment and the tools I use in it (GUI ones included) to feel like a joy to use, not something I'm trying to duck out of the way of to drop in to a terminal.
