Our development team is a pretty even split between Snow Leopard and various linux distros. Nobody misses windows, but we're not doing .Net development either.
My experience with OpenOffice has been great for when I'm creating my own documents, and awful for when I'm trying to read someone else's. Our sales teams sends over plenty of word, excel, ppt files and over half of them are borderline unusable.
Between the need for Office, CS5, and TextMate, it doesn't make sense for me to switch to linux full-time. But Sun's VirtualBox is free and very good - if all I needed was Office I'd run it in a VirtualBox and never look back.
