I have have been using Linux for about 6-8 years. At work, I have used Gentoo, XP, Solaris, HPUX, and AIX. I know several people that have hackintoshs, myself included. All of them are very familiar with Linux, Unix, and Windows. It isn't about simple. It is partly about the challenge. Do you know why we do it? You may be able to make Gnome look like OSX, but not feel like OSX.

The main reason I build the hackintosh is the price. I built a computer for just over $1000 that is equivalent to a $2800 MacPro. My wife needs to use the computer. She is a photographer and thus needs Photoshop and printing. And please don't mention Gimp or printing on Linux. It doesn't cut it for professional photographers.
