I used PCs for about 10 years and switched just last February and it's been a liberating experience to say the least. As much as I like fixing things, I don't like doing it every other day on a machine that I use to be productive with. The interface and commands take a bit to get used to, but after you get them down, everything becomes easier. And with design, once I stopped treating Expose as a novelty and started integrating it into my workflow, I was able to work so much faster and more efficiently.
Not to say there haven't been hiccups. About a month ago my file system got corrupted (from the way a piece of poorly written software was integrating with the OS) and I had to back all my files up, format (and zero out the drive), and reinstall the OS. Even then, getting back to all of my settings was easy, and the fact that I make backup discs of all my program installers was a help.
But if you're just going to be doing everyday stuff (and even if you aren't) the Mac is an all around great platform.

On a positive note, I did save some money on car insurance by staying with GEICO..."
