end result: it is more stable :-)
Sure, the technology lags behind PCs, but it's just a trade-off - stability vs power.
Apple products have plenty of issues and I'm no fan of Apple's hyper-corporate closed-platform, autocratic philosophy (I'll admit that using Reaper on OSX sometimes feels pretty incongruous!). Ideologically speaking, I tend towards a more progressive community-based approach.
But at the end of the day, OSX allows me to get the job done quickly and efficiently with minimum fuss. And being a bit of a *nix nerd, the OSX Terminal gives me *most* of the "power-user" gratification I crave.
I'd love it if I could get the functionality and results I need from an open-source platform, but unfortunately that just isn't possible at the moment.
