Well, honestly, I find networking to be like that regardless of platform. I've had as much trouble getting routing to work right on Linux or Macs sometimes as with Windows.
I don't think there's much difference; after all, the TCP/IP layers are almost identical on all modern OSs, they're all based on Unix sockets and interfaces, because that's what the entire internet is built on top of. Windows and Mac just try to hide the stuff and so they make things harder when there are non-trivial problems to solve. With Linux at least the raw stuff is accessible.
But that's over-analyzing. I should just shut up and laugh.
