I need to be less wordy.

My central argument was supposed to be that when you've spent the time to develop the skills necessary to use Linux as a platform to the point where the advantages of the OS X platform are invisible and the deficiencies are glaringly apparent, you're not going to prefer OS X, despite the fact that it's still perfectly fine for a whole ton of people.



You summed it up pretty well, but I would put it slightly differently: there is a point where the characteristics of OSX are no longer an advantage, but a hindrance, the same way as the characteristics of a more traditional Unix (or Linux) are a problem for those who are more used to OSX or Windows.

There is a time you have to get rid of the training wheels.
