Do I feel like fighting with a desktop machine to do my
browsing / email / etc?
I'm thinking you've not really tried Linux in the past few years
or at least not Ubuntu.
Embrace teh shiny.

On top of that I still have yet to see a really good GUI in Linux. I
think there is a lot to learn from OSX for example. Everything I see
in X still seems... archaic.
Meaning, "it works"? :)
Boy, I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that ...
Yeah, it works--except for interactive performance, video playback
response, 3D handling, font rendering, international input, and running
reliably on a modern graphics card.
Oh, wait. Except that that's all modern desktops *do*.
Whoops.
But, you know, making things work isn't fun. The X programmers would
rather work on "T3h Sh1nY".
