...switched to a mac once for development. Going from windows to mac was quite a hassle, especially when you're trying to get things done quickly right away and each little thing takes you on a 30 minute roadtrip to google to find out how to do things the mac way.

... for one thing I never got over the fact that I can't right click and create a file of a certain extension in the macfinder,and then open it like you can on windows. Why do I have to have an application open before I can create a file using the UI (I know it can't be done from the command line). Small things like that annoyed me enough to remain on windows.

If I'm gonna switch to a linux, might as well be onto a CentOS or Ubuntu box.

"I can't right click and create a file of a certain extension in the macfinder" 100% agree

that said, having the terminal baked in as part of the OS is quite nice
