Yeah, I have found OS X a lot easier than Linux to get things done with in general (related to development). The lack of general support for commercial apps and the inability of a credit card to solve problems is a huge problem for a lot of problems.

Sure I'll use a virtualized Linux environment for dev now and then, but OS X now is not bad at all for dev.

This goes threefold once you talk about getting anyone else setup like you. It's just so hard to get people not running the exact same flavor of Linux into the same development configuration for many tasks.
