There's Android File Transfer for Mac users, which supports MTP. Not sure there's anything at all for Linux users.

This issue has turned the phone from must-have to never-want for me - it's unbelievably handy to essentially have a 32GB USB hard disk in my pocket wherever I go. Are there any actual advantages to MTP or PTP for end users?

Apps like SSHDroid and SMBDroid can make your phone act as a file server on WiFi.

MTP allows the storage to be accessed by the phone and computer at the same time.
