The only disagreement I'd have is that there are those of us in a
professional/semiprofessional pursuit other than tech that requires vertical
market software (music and drill design) usually only produced on Windows or
OSX.  When Linux does have an analogue, it is usually quite terrible to use
and work with.  Rather than use Windows, I'd rather use OSX.

Before we hit the "write it yourself" argument, remember that there are
those of us who are not coders (outside of regular sysadmin shell/perl
coding) and can't undertake a project of that magnitude.

As long as you understand that with that freedom many times what you get is
interfaces and design like a developer or engineer would create, not like a
user interface designer would.  Much of the OSS stuff I use in the Linux
world is crazy useful, it's just generally ugly as heck.
