Personally (and I'll probably be flamed for this), I think OS X is an
absolutely superb desktop environment that KDE and Gnome are just way
behind in terms of style and functionality. Font rendering in particular
is excellent, the icons are just beautiful, and things Just Work. OS X
makes me want to use it in a way that Gnome or KDE just don't. I'm a
huge Linux fan too (it's my job), but personally, give me a MacBook Pro
with OS X any day over a Linux desktop.
BTW a lot of Darwin (the underlying OS in OS X) is open source
