For me i think the reason is that i spend a lot of time at work doing 
system administration tasks so when i get home i don't want to mess 
with those sorts of things.

I don't use OS X all that much. For some tasks it is very nice, and i do 
use it for those. But for long-term use as a primary OS it is not quite 
what i want. I've gotten too used to the AfterStep window manager (and 
more to the point, its Pager that works better than any other i've 
seen) and to use anything else for very long feels a bit constraining.
