I switched from FreeBSD as my desktop to OSX about four years ago because:
a) I needed a unix based desktop
b) I needed end user components (browser, printing, etc.) that just worked
Circa 2008, everything in Safari "just worked" - every site, every player, every piece of embedded bullshit on every little web 2.0 site blah blah blah.
But now I need to manually futz around with flash every two weeks to keep it working ... and now java as well ?
I think OSX still has an edge for me, in terms of getting things done, due to printing and ... ? It's getting awfully close to even, though.
