The software issue is slightly mitigated by the fact that OSX lets Mac users run UNIX-based software, but the gaming issue is a serious hold-up for me. I play video games. Lots of video games. I can't do that on a Mac.
I build computers religiously. Why? Because it's fun. I thorougly enjoy being elbows-deep in the guts of a case, building something to play with. I can't do that with a Mac. I don't want my case to look like a fruit-basket or a modern art sculpture. I want it to look like a functional chunk of metal.
I have used Macs frequently, but overall I prefer the x86 architecture. OSX doesn't have anything to offer me - I run FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Fedora on some of my other computers - in addition to my XP gaming rig. Having a unified hardware platform among my computers makes life very easy.
