Please, not a Mac/PC war.
I think we can offer personal input without making it a war.
I use PCs a lot at my day job, but I've always preferred Macs for home.
A significant part of that is because Macs are what I'm used to.
If I had it to do over again, I think I might well choose PC.
Objectively, I think I'd still like Mac interface better, and I
definitely like that Macs are much less vulnerable to viruses and the
like, but I don't think those alone would be worth the ~20% more you
pay for a Mac. I'm frugal by nature, so price is a big factor for me.
But familiarity matters. Even if it was more or less by accident that
I got started on Macs, I now have a familiarity investment in them, and
that's sufficient reason for me to stick with them.
Lora mentioned that her place of work is Mac-dominated. I would
consider that a valid reason to consider switching. Or if it's just a
question of learning the Mac system for work while still keeping the
familiar Windows system at home, I think that's a good thing to do.
It's essentially what I do in my work, but vice versa.
