I use Mac OS X at home and Linux at work, so the R Aqua GUI has spoiled me. I have not seen its equal so far (on Windows or Linux). The most important thing to me is how easily accessible the help and documentation is. I like how when I begin typing a function, the form and arguments to the function automatically appear at the bottom bar, refreshing my memory. I like that all plots are output to on-screen PDF. I could go on and on, but I hope that someday we'll see something on Linux with the same polish and ease-of-use. Maybe when Cairo is integrated into Gnome it might make PDF plot display more feasible...
