This feels like Gruber being Gruber.

For me personally, I love Apple hardware, love the iPhone and like the iPad. I am just not a fan of OSX. I was, for about a five year period, but have gone back to Linux this past year in Ubuntu and have not looked back.

I bought my first mac in 2003/2004, Power Book G4. Tolerated the slowness that the UI had b/c it gave me something I didn't have in any other OS: A *nix base w/ a great UI.

Over time I feel that OSX's lead in this eroded as Ubuntu kept getting better and better and OSX stagnated. Now I feel I can have a rock solid Linux (Debian based Ubuntu) with a really good UI that just works without weird restrictions. OSX isn't the only player in town anymore in that front and since I can install it on cheaper hardware, that is awesome.
