I'm a long time PC user (including linux for many many years) but just recently got my first Mac.
My 2 cents? I love the Mac. Everything just "works" on it. I'm a software developer by day (Windows, Linux, etc...) and the last thing I want to have to do when I get home is deal with "quirks".
The apple tax is more than worth it, IMO. How much is your time worth?
I've also been informing friends and family that if they expect to get support from me down the road their next computers will have to be Macs.
