OS X became so popular as the unix hacker laptop over the last few years, because it "just worked". That and "normal" apps from MS and Adobe run on it.
Imagine it's 2003-2006 or so - sending your linux laptop to sleep/hibernate was like russian roulette - will it start up again? Won't it? Kernel panic? ACPI improved things, but often still has hardware specific issues.

Nice hardware and good design helped as well.
