Mark Pilgrim Ditches the Mac

Python hacker, and long time Mac user, Mark Pilgrim has decided to switch to Linux. Personally I like both. The Mac works out of the box, and you can install the Developer tools, X11, and get a working Unix command line, with iLife and Office. Little things that make it usable WiFi, sleep, etc. are harder to configure on Linux laptops. However, if one can configure a Linux laptop and be productive, its hard to argue against that.

UPDATE: Tim Bray is also considering switching from the Mac to Ubuntu.
