I just wish the consumer grade UI wasn't so annoying and the real UNIX underneath so quirky and kinda buggy.
I'm typing this on my macbook pro, I'm a convert, but the UI being so application based rather than window based drives me crazy sometimes... I end up doing most things under X11 (xterms all the way!) where at least I can get focus follows mouse that mostly works. The OS doesn't do co-operative multitasking anymore, there's no need for that crap.
There are still bugs like screensaver/screenlock randomly stopping working until you log out and log back in again in 10.5 (great when you want to stop random people messing with your machine), etc. Trying to run them at an enterprise level is a nightmare.
Still using it but... they could be so much better!
