Ever since Apple borrowed the concept of a graphical user interface from Xerox they had seemed (to me) to have a clear idea how they wanted the system to behave and how the user interacts with it. This was from my experience, true with the very first MacOS (8.x) I've ever used, also applied to NeXt (even though having a BSD working under the hood), and still is valid today.
My main systems always had been Linux & Windows with all their pros/cons. Windows from a user perspective is a moving target with each release, but they try to keep consistency in their API, still supporting software from +25 years ago (if you put some effort into it).
Linux is a different beast - you won't even get a consistent user-experience, if you buy a boxed distribution. Everything depends on the bits and pieces you throw together (to hopefully have a working system in the end ).
When I started using LC a few years ago, I first tried it on Windows, then Linux. I haven't used a Mac in years, just supporting family members now and then. But immediately when I started playing around with LC I felt like using a Mac.
I know, I can't explain that rationally - it's just an impression. And this leads me to the thought, that LC has inherited some of these concepts throughout it's history (and I might be totally wrong. )
