Agreed, and same experiences here (happy Ubuntu LTS users all around).
I also didn't personally get to enjoy OS X during my half a year of occasional use, it felt cluttered compared to Ubuntu and it was not the easiness of usage utopia it's said to be.
But yes it's annoying that the OS X is the best and only truth folks are everywhere, especially since a) world is not black-and-white and b) it seems ignorant to only praise Apple that has so many negative sides for many average Joes, even if OS X is an ok software to use (Apple and only Apple) computer with.
Like said, too bad most people don't get to experience proper off-the-shelf Linux experience in the PC world.
