I would never claim an OS to be perfect weither it be any "flavour" of windows, linux, osx, etc. Now, OSX doesn't always "just work":
It doesn't always "just work" when you try running firefox and your cursor beachballs for a couple minutes.
It doesn't always "just work" when trying to run Photoshop and Illustrator at the same time and you recieve random errors/program crashing.
It doesn't always "just work" when your CPU get's too hot because there is no ventilation in the case, or because Apple didn't know how to properly mount thermal creme on your CPU's.

I'm not denying that there aren't any transitions from moving from one OS to the next, I've had my fair-share of working with different variants of Linux over the years. But you know, OSX is pretty intuitive so I wouldn't have to be too worried, right?

I bet I could write 20 or more blogs about how Vista sucks. Definately not denying that. But how can a company proclaim such a strong statement about their machines when they don't always "just work"?
