Yeah, that's kinda how it goes..

At first, "The Open Source Community" looks like a really big deal. Once you dig in a little, though, you realize that Apple has like 50x as many people working on this stuff as the entire linux community does. linux is great, but I don't think you can expect the same level of polish as you'd get on something with the Apple Tax

This is not entirely true. The companies working in Linux (and the majority of Linux development is by commercial companies) together can easily match and outmatch Apple. However, they don't care about developing the Linux GUI/UX, and the Linux community ... well it's a bazaar :)
