If any of you have seen behind the scenes documentaries of movies, a lot of the people working on the CG effects are using Unix systems. (If you have the Transformers movie, watch disk 2.).

I use OpenBSD on all my desktops, people may think it's strange.. but It's not, if anything it's improved my skills maintaining the OpenBSD servers at work.

I said desktop, not workstation, which is not the same.
I also didn't say unix os's are totally useless on the desktop, just that this is not what most unix systems are designed for.
