Apple has developed a smooth, consistent, unrivaled UI experience. Everything works the same across apps written in Apple's UI framework. All the keyboard shortcuts are the same, and they use the Command key avoiding the stupidity of overloading Ctrl which is for sending control codes only.
The Mac UI was developed using principles of human psychology which make it objectively easier, smoother, and more pleasant to use. The Linux UI hasn't evolved beyond the concept of "make it look cool". The Apple UI actually works with your brain to make you more productive -- a "bicycle for the mind" as Jobs put it. Granted, this is less true now than it was in the past, but it's still leagues ahead of Windows and especially Linux.
