OS X - The quality of drivers and firmware is way better than on my linux machine. With each Linux I installed in my life I had problems with either graphics card driver, battery life way smaller than on Windows on the same machine, battery leaking too fast while machine supposed to be sleeping, lack of good SSD support (at the time I tried it), wifi/printer not working as it should, long boot time etc.
On OS X I get the best out of Linux (Unix based) and Windows (Runs photoshop and office, no problems with drivers and firmware).
Awesome quality of Mac Apps is another benefit. Photoshop and not having to use open office. I can't find equivalent alternative of Alfred for Linux. Adium works better than Pidgin. 1Password seem to be the best password manager. There are native apps for music apps like Spotify and Rdio, what gives me a benefit of controlling them using built in hardware keys. I love fantastical.
Main selling point of Linux used to be tiling window manager and package distribution. Amethyst - OS X port of Xmonad is quite good and I am using it at the moment - https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst . Brew is getting much better than it used to be and I don't remember a recent situation when I had problem with it.
Finding help online for your system is another benefit. Linux have many fragmented distributions and things very often do not work between them. On OS X if you find a solution online it will work. There's bigger market share (even among devs) so it's more likely you will find your solution online.
