It's an inverse relationship between power and simplicity. As the power goes down, simplicity goes up.
So you've got a full UNIX shell underneath the hood of your Windows machine? You can simply enable SVN to track your code, and host the repository on an apache server that's already installed? How about a native scripting language for automating tasks? Can you set Cron jobs for little things that you do daily? Or does Windows not do that?

My point is this: It's not always as linear as you make it out to be. Yes, OSX has a "simple" UI, but under the hood it will always out-pace Windows. Until on Windows I can install git and grab the latest builds automatically for an experimental web browser without needing to sacrifice a child every time, I won't move back to it.
