Hmm.. because we're Linux freaks :)
Because we like to do it "our way" and just hate to be told what's good for 
us...

Actually, I started using OS X (allways hated MacOS "classic" except for the 
interface - and still do) because I thought "ah! Mac OS is turning *nix", but 
I have been reducing my use of it to special tasks (such as Video editing) 
because I found out Apple was "turning *nix Mac"!

I like the command line, but to use it to open a directory when a gui is 
available...    However I seem to learn more OS X tricks on this list than on 
the MacOS X forums: this week end I'll put my users directories on a separate 
partition and un-hide my favorite directories. Just have to find a way to 
blow Aqua and I might end loving OS X :)
