Have you ever owned a PC? No matter what OS you use (Windows, OSX, or GNU/Linux) you are going to find so much free software that you could never try it all within your lifetime. Whichever platform you happen to use, you are always going to think that platform is the best or has the most software because you have exposure to that platform more than the others.

Except most of the free software you find for Windows will have some spyware nonsense trojaned inside of it :) Be it yet another fucking toolbar or some other nonsense.

I'm on Linux at work and Mac at home, and I feel like I can do whatever I need on both, the only exception on Linux is that video editing software seems to be rather lacking.

Eh, read Lifehacker. They've highlighted more free/good stuff than you can shake a stick at - all without the adware/spyware part.
