Being an OS X user myself I would lie if I said the thought hadn't hit me to switch to another Unix or Unix-like OS. Most notable candidates for me were:
Elementary OS
Looks great and Ubuntu based so there's a thriving community around it. Sort of.
Crunchbang Linux
Looks interesting. Didn't look into it much more than just click around on their website.
FreeBSD
My weapon of choice for servers. I bed it'd make a mean desktop but there'd surely be a lot of work to set things up.
When I'm on Linux desktops the things I miss the most are Safari, Xcode, Alfred and Adobe Photoshop. Not to mention the polish. The things I miss in OS X are a proper volume manager (like the one in Windows where you can control the volume of individual applications or mute them), case sensitive file system (I know you can set this but I don't because of legacy script compatability) and an out of the box package manager/port tree. Yeah I use brew but the volume thing is driving me nuts having gone from Windows.
