Your experience is 180 degrees from mine. There is, as with everything, a small learning curve, but the newer versions of various distros are a breeze to install and keep running smoothly.
You pays yer money and takes yer choice, as with everything else!

The learning curve is even smaller on Mac but the reliability of UNIX and many of it's features are all there under the hood for those who like to explore. Coming from a UNIX background, including IRIX, SunOS, Solaris, Mac OS X, it's not hard to see why I enjoy the Mac as much as I do.

I'm in a Unix world most of the time, currently Munix, Apple's version of BSD. It's great for servers, set them up and forget them, but getting them set up can be baffling for the novice.
The GUIs are getting slick on the Linux flavors, but I also need to run too many Windows programs for it to work for my desktop.

I think both perspectives are valid. I put linux on my wife's laptop years ago after spending too much time with viruses, trojans etc. And I use linux for a music server. It did take some time to load flash etc., and the linux learning curve is not trivial. But once things that I/we need are loaded it is rare that I need to do anything to either laptop or music server. So for those that don't mind learning linux or already have the familiarity it is a very good alternative. Regarding Microsoft OS's, support tends to be more intuitive, and it is easier to find assistance when needed than linux.
