If that's the case, then Linux is fine for you, I'd think. I'm decent with vim, but not a power user. This is part of the reason I like TextMate so much. I can do all kinds of power user stuff and it's easy. Other reasons I like the Mac: - "sleep" works. I close the lid, go away, open the lid and it's rid where I left it. Every time. I only reboot for OS updates. - QuickSilver. Drives me batty to use a machine that doesn't have it. - OmniOutliner. nice organizational tool (especially with Kinkless GTD) - ical/address book syncs beautifully with my phone over bluetooth - PhotoShop (doesn't run on Linux) - lots of other little apps that make the Mac fun to use (BTW, when talking about TCO, apparently the MacBook was just tested by PC magazine to be the fastest Core Duo Windows(!) laptop. You generally pay for that luxury.) At PyCon, we were talking about why folks would be a PowerBook and then run Linux on it. Apparently, it's because of the "sleep" function. I didn't realize that PC hardware didn't sleep as well. Anyhow, my point isn't that Mac are better. They're certainly more expensive. A Mac is just better for me. YMMV.
