as a primary workstation/desktop?

Back in the days the ultra line were my main everyday machines. Most of the time all I needed was netscape/staroffice/java/xmms/gimp.

I was wondering what has changed since then in terms of desktop use. I know and knew back then that solaris was meant for lot more then desktop use. But considering compared to windows it was free and a sun machine looked cool.
However over the last few years outside requirements have made it such that a PC is more viable. Strange though that I had more productivity with the sun setup.
Have things just become more pretty?
