Apple feels like a cousin who hit the lottery and is now too cool to chill with you anymore. Linux feels more like he still cares.

Neal Stephenson's article about computers (In the Beginning was the Command Line) likens (iirc) Macs to BMWs and Linux to a build your own tank. Sure it might be cheaper and a hell of a lot of fun to make your own car, but it's not for everyone. Not sure he cares so much as while he needs work done he gives you great mileage per gallon.
