• Modern icons which don’t make me sick—the Windows XP whole cuteness thing always got me, but these are OK
• Slick integration of what you’re trying to do
• I don’t think linux has ever seen a text editor as poor as Notepad
• The range of quality applications
• The freeness of those apps—if you tried getting together ligitimate copies of Windows equivalents then it would cost you quite a bit (unless there’s a port available of course)
• The fact that I don’t have too much idea what I’m doing but it’s only taking one Google search to work it out—I’ve used Windows for years and still spend far too much time hunting down solutions to problems
• It hasn’t crashed once ;-)
• It has the coolest mascot in Tux (and my mother likes penguins)
• Hey, it makes me more of a geek ;o)
• AmaroK
• Package management. Microsoft updates eat your heart out
• I’m using it like I’ve never seen anything else. That means something must be working

That’s just what springs to mind at the moment. There’s probably more, and you I might well post about it when I think of them, but I’m off to play some more.
