I agree with this assessment with respect to dual booting Windows + any linux, on \
UEFI. It's a fairly foul and highly variable UX, with multiple causes for this.

However, the dual boot UX of OS X and Fedora is at least as good as, and actually \
more reliable than Windows + Fedora on BIOS hardware due to how Apple's startup disk \
manager works, and the Herculean effort of Mathew Garret on mactel-boot.

The residual issues for Macs are about the same as for other narrow slices of \
hardware, e.g. video not working due to some kernel regression, or newer hardware \
than there's support for in the kernel; and sometimes wonky behaviors with trackpads \
and such.
