I used to be a pretty hard-core Linux geek -- but recently I just find myself more and more drawn to Macs because of how easy they are. It allows me to focus on what I'm trying to do. Of course, on that's just for desktop work. For servers I prefer Linux by far.

The things you've noted on this list, for the most part, apply equally as well to Linux. I recently switched from Windows to Ubuntu, and every reason you quoted (minus Time Machine, iLife, and Garage Band) made me love the new experience. That said, I think that Mac OS beats Linux in terms of things that "just work". I've certainly had to spend a fair amount configuration Linux to work well on my machine, but, hey, I'm kind of into that.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-5">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I’ll preface this comment by saying that I’m not really against Mac OS or Windows.
