I was a long time linux user too. I switched for the quality of the hardware and because I was tired of fighting poor hardware support.
For me a Mac is a much better experience, you focus on your work, the hardware/OS just work. No more fighting with XF86Config, broken wireless driver, and a hardware market focused on bringing the cost low instead of improving quality. If you look at how much time you spend on a computer, the cost is not the most important factor. When I get back to a pc, it always hit me how much the quality is inferior, but then I think about the cost pressure to sell a laptop at 400$ and I undersand.
What I don't like on Mac, is that I feel as a just another follower of a cult, yes the look is good but I think I would prefer a less flashy brand.
