I would consider this as a temporary solution for now. Once kernel-based mode setting (KMS) is working for most cards, one should switch to kms here. It provides the smoothest possible boot experience. Once the video-mode is switched into the proper one directly after grub, there won't be any mode-switches anymore and gdm can even fade-in into the text console during boot. That looks awesome. Fedora has incorporated plymouth with kms already and it worked with both all the ATI and Intel cards I tested. Nvidia is work-in-progress.
@Rachel: You probably could have something like this on the PC as well if you use "coreboot" as a BIOS-replacement. I guess coreboot together with KMS could provide the smoothest boot-experience ever and it would be highly customizable, one thing that you'll never get on a Mac.
