It is not that Linux has great apps - TBH the choice is better on
Windows or Mac and often the quality is a lot higher, too.
It is that:

This is dead right, Liam. We have mostly Ubuntu systems in our house -
for web browsing, e-mail, writing the occasional article or letter, etc.
But for serious photographic work we run Lightroom, Photoshop, etc on a Mac.
As you say, the main concern for most ordinary users is the quality &
effectiveness of the applications, not the details of the OS. (Though I
have found Unity irritating, and 11.04 / 11.10 problematical on some
older kit; so I'm waiting for 12.04, but may well switch to xfce.)
Horses for courses, as you say.
