I have to say the complete opposite... once i started using macs, i could never turn back... and in fact now wonder how i ever used a PC for so long... i've had 3 laptops die on me in the past all PC's and all within 3 years... my my mac book pro has last me going on 5 years i think it is now and not a single problem yet...
So for me, unless its for Gaming or 3D Rendering (which i know very little of), i can almost definitely say i'll never go back to a PC by choice...

PC all the way. The more questions I asked Apple when shopping for a new lap top, the more they talked me out of it. The things I see all my Mac friends go through just to do simple stuff makes me laugh because they payed twice what I payed for my HP. For the average user it's a novelty, for video editing and other stuff that 90% of Mac users DON'T use it's good. For simple gaming it's whack and I don't mean angry birds.
I guess thats probably it... i'm a graphic designer by trade, but also used to design and develop websites as well as a little video editing which is why i find my mac so much better than a PC... just runs everything smoother than on a PC and doesn't crash nearly as much... especially not during crunch time...
I have a 1st. gen. Intel based Mac that is over 6 years old that I have had zero problems with. Anti-virus? What's that? Spyware? Never heard of it. And, they are not any more complicated to use that a PC. Just different. Of corse, a PC user might miss all that time they spend cleaning all that crap out of their hard drives.
Linux x2 (currently use mint 11). Of course Im still a newb and have to resort to windows sometimes.

I have had my 13" macbook for just over 3 years now. It still works like it did when I took it out of the box. Macs cost twice as much because everything is twice as good. My friends with non-mac laptops... The stuff I see them go through is terrible.
Industrial designer, and manufacturing engineering background. I've done game development, modelling, coding, graphics development on the mac.
If you use your computer the mac platform is not good for anything beyond web surfing. It literally is clumsy for any sort of multi-tasking. They have comprehensive systems for overcoming the basic GUI inefficiencies. Beyond that its no more stable as a content creation and development platform than any other OS. I would argue that because of windows heritage it has more comprehensive crash recovery utilities and because of the open nature of its platform it has more flexible backup options. I'd use ubuntu before mac osx. I can't speak to a mac hardware issues beyond saying their work station is an overpriced rip off. I don't hate mac I just don't see the fuss, I've worked on their platform and it just wasn't the flawless experience I was promised. Sincerely the best GUI I've used would be ubuntu but the limitation of software is annoying. Windows is not great but is best at this point.
