Another plus for the basic Linux desktop is having multiple virtual desktops.
(not sure if this has already been said)
At some point I have used 7 desktops, where browser/mail stuff was on
the first desktop, vim-perl on the second, database terminals on the
third one etc.

It helps you to be more organized and saves you from alt-tabbing your
fingers away.

You can also have shortcut keys for everything, with one combination
you can open up
a terminal tailing a log etc. You can do things that save time.

Q:	How many journalists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A:	Three.  One to report it as an inspired government program to bring
	light to the people, one to report it as a diabolical government plot
	to deprive the poor of darkness, and one to win a Pulitzer prize for
	reporting that Electric Company hired a light bulb-assassin to break
	the bulb in the first place.
