There are lots of reasons but in my mind the top three are : 

1 - It works
2 - It works everytime
3 - It works everytime the way I expected it to work.

I would like to be able to say this about any other OS, the closest I
ever got to this level of reliability and reproductibility in behaviour
was with VAX-VMS.
