Speaking entirely personally, I find the desktop on my MacBook (a
work machine) utterly frustrating. There are so many things I want to
do that are difficult, non-obvious, or Just Plain Impossible that I
can last about half a day trying to do work on it before I just want
to throw the whole machine out of a window.

I'm sure many other people have utterly different views on the
subject, and I'm not saying that one size fits all, but for me, my
experience of OS X has been poor. I won't be buying an Apple machine
in the future.
