The pleasant interaction with other *nix systems was and is a primary driver for my choice of OS X.
PuTTy sucks. Every other terminal I have tried on Windows sucks. Getting terminal-based software to work on Windows sucks. I stopped trying years ago because a terminal on OS X doesn't suck. It might not be a perfect 10, but I'm happy with it.
I'm also more interested in Windows more and more as time passes.
