Linux I entered the world of Apple hardware about 3 months ago now, with a second-hand iBook2. It was a 500mHz, 256mb, ATI Rage 128 model, with a standard CD-Rom drive. I spent the first few days trying to tweak Mac OS X to my liking, then a few further weeks installing and learning to use the applications I thought I'd need. Chimera, BBEdit, the developer tools, even the Fink X server so I could use Gaim.

To each his own. I don't dispute his preference for YDL over OSX, but to me there's simply no contest.

It boils down to one word for me: aesthetics.

And that's why I love OS X.

Linux may have great underpinnings and marvelous "tweakability," but otherwise it's an ugly mess compared to OSX.
