It is telling that the author of this article has not yet given up his MacBook. My own move from Macbook to Dell/Linux took years, and I still find myself saying "this would be easier on a Mac." The user experience is really the best their is. Good luck with the switch... your values will be tested.

What makes you say "this would be easier on a Mac"? I'm curious, only because I've never said that. I've also never said "this would be easier on Windows" about anything other than needing to do something in Outlook. I've spent my career going back and forth switching between the major operating systems and somehow find Linux/Mac/Windows pretty similar for the work I do (obviously we all work different).

Now I'm a Linux sysadmin working on Linux stuff, so my main work machine is Linux, it would be a pretty easy for me to switch to a Mac, and now even Windows.

Windows10 did a good job right now from what i've seen, but the first time i went back on windows after a year of code on linux/mac with a friend high on tuning your tools and workstations to your needs, it never really felt "good". Granted, i had to use netbeans and this was on 7 (or 8), but when you're used to the tools and you understand the system (not system as in OS, but how everything work, where to look if you have issues etc), it's really hard to switch.

On the other hand, those 6 month using windows made me really respect windows sysadmins.
