I use a Linux desktop every day, and if I had to pick just one OS, it would be Linux hands down. However I too have a MacBook Pro which I love. It's true that MacOS has polish that is lacking in Linux - it's hard to match the fruits of Apple's unique position of being able to match their hardware and software so closely.
I'm pretty satisfied with my current set up, a Linux desktop paired with a Mac notebook.
A handful of friends who dev in C# use MBPs with Windows 7 on them.
