I just came across this via a link from http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7419/3/ and you're almost exactly where I was two years ago (I now am an extremely satisfied Mac user whose involvement with Linux or CP/M 2001 (aka XP) is strictly limited to VMWare Fusion (which should be on your short list of apps to buy once you Switch). I had a few blog posts you might find relevant and interesting, particularly http://archlever.blogspot.com/2009/08/debate-between-adequacy-and-excellence.html, http://archlever.blogspot.com/2008/12/happy-updating.html and especially http://archlever.blogspot.com/2008/07/differences-that-make-differences-are.html.

Just need to drop a few other things like Xorg and Linux will be on its way. Unfortunately like so many projects out there, it probably will take a long time to adopt if that happens at all.

It is otherwise still a Linux just like all the other ones, but... has a nice HS idea. For the dropping LHS thing, you might want to look into GoboLinux.
