You seem to be asking about applications. I apologize, I'm not a
heavy application user. Or, at least, not typical applications.
(are XEmacs and gcc applications? they're probably what I use most)
My admiration of Unix (and Linux in particular) can be summed up in
this quote:
With a PC, I always felt limited by the software available. On
Unix, I am limited only by my knowledge.
-- Peter J Schoenster
Basically, when I see a Linux box, complete with Emacs, gcc et al.,
make, gdb, LaTeX+TeX and an efficient, featureful kernel, all COMPLETE
WITH SOURCE CODE, I see a box that I can learn a lot from, hack on,
and make it do interesting and useful things.

PS I identify a lot with John Abreau's "glasses" analogy too.
