I like Linux mainly because of the power of the shell. I can do many things that I would be unable to do anywhere else with a few wild cards and pipes. Yes, there is Cygwin for the Win32 but I still prefer the real thing.

I do have to admit tho that nothing beats gaming on Windows. Sure WineX is nice but it's slow and prone to bugs, especially with new games. I always keep a Windows partition around to play games. But actually I like Linux on the desktop for that reason, there are relatively few games so I have to concentrate on my work!

Hmm, I am not sure if that qualifies as a good objective argument or not.
