I went the same route, though I did OS/2 for a couple of years in there (even had a team OS/2 t-shirt).
In 2000 though, I switched from Linux to Mac because I was a bit tired of X tweaking. I found that the hobbiest culture of the Mac and NeXT crowds reminded me of the C64 days. What sealed the deal was OS X where basically I had a BSD workstation with a good desktop.
Most of my old Mig and Commie friends are sadly on Windows 7. They don't care for UNIX for some reason and dislike Apple. Maybe it's like those folks that "outgrow" the music they liked when they were younger...
X tweaking: I spent years trying to get suspend/resume work without issues under X on a series of cheap laptops; I got close but never quite there. Now I run Linux only on servers and under Parallels on Mac. Not the same, such a shame.
