I think it makes a great server operating system, but you're right about the desktop. The precise reason I'm using OS X is that it is Unix underneath. I get the best of both worlds: Unix power and flexibility, and real (and in many cases very good) honest-to-goodness end-user applications.
I would like to point out that Linux has made significant advances in the last year or two, and for those for whom budget considerations reign supreme, it does now provide a decently useable alternative.
