I use Solaris, Windows XP occasionally, but live almost 90% of the time 
in Mac OS X these days. I love Mac OS X. Finally, a fully-fledged shell 
(and in Panther, made it even better) with most of the tools I've come 
to learn and love. If a tool doesn't exist, I can just port it over, if 
it's open source. I like FreeBSD ports, so Darwin Ports is right up my 
alley. Lots of people like Fink. Any way you cut it, it has been my 
computing home for over two years now (converted from a mish-mash of 
Windows, Solaris and Linux) and I even enjoy using a desktop GUI again.

On Mac OS X, I use the Apple Mail application. I love it. Simple and it 
gets the job done. It has an acceptable spam filter and the new Mail in 
Panther got better. I like the integration with the OS X Address Book. 
The annoying thing is in-line PDF viewing. I'd rather spawn a separate 
PDF viewer (or Quicktime, or whatever app) rather than have it 
"previewed" in my mail client's preview window.
