Before anyone talks about me learning how to use computers, I spend all day at terminal for work. I don't mind terminal. But Linux desktop is an atrocity compared to OS X.
I'm also sad to see the direction of the Mac OS. We'll see where it goes, I guess. If anything, another company with a new and ambitions "Steve Jobs" will come and fill the void. Hopefully.

I haven't heard any complaints from the Windows users I've recently switched over, but Apple is the king of UI and it's DIFFERENT, so I could see how a Mac user might have more trouble adjusting.
We had a Mac server for a bit. When it came time to look at adding a drive, it was $600. (A $150 drive in a proprietary sled they charge $450 for.) I could have had that sled custom built for about $20. For $600 I could completely replace the entire server with one running Linux, so that was the end of Mac servers for us. The end of Mac consumer devices in our household came from a similar vendor lock-in experience.
