Long term Gentoo user and recent Mac convert here (still using Kubuntu for my work laptop and managing Linux servers).

I don't feel any great sense of lock-in. My Macbook Pro will still operate if Apple goes bankrupt. My documents can still open in other OSs if my laptop dies.
I can use Firefox, OO, Java, watch movies, everything I use the laptop for in either OS X or Linux.
