I think this is a pretty dangerous argument to make, considering that
spending hours patching kernels and tweaking JACK latency is not exactly a
guarantee of listenable results either.
To be honest, I haven't had to worry about patching kernels or
tweaking latency with Jack in quite a while... using something like
Planet CCRMA or similar pretty much gives you a decent starting point
for making music out of the box, moresore than Windows. If you have
ever had to tweak a Windows machine for audio (an out of the box
Windows machine sucks for audio, there's a lot you need to do to get
good performance out of XP and especially Vista). Can't speak for Mac,
since I don't use it, but it seems to be a better solution out of the
box than Windows!
