The BMW analogy works in friendly territory, but outside it's a bit like telling people they'll go to hell if they don't believe.
They're different. Like Linux is different. For whatever reasons you may prefer one over the other.
Does it work?
Do you like it?
If yes, great. If not, keep looking. Thing religions are dumb.
For myself, as a fairly heavy Windows user, MacOS rocks. It is so fucking stable and predictable, like I'd expect from a good *nix, which is what's underneath.
You want annoying? Try to keep your senses and speed while running Windows inside of Mac OS. Different keys, on-screen buttons and things are reversed. (Trace that back to intentional Windows differences to help avoid the "Mac copy" arguments.) Even simple copy/paste. Cmd-c to copy in Mac, then flip to parallels and Ctrl-V to paste. Easy to screw up and wipe your clipboard. Sure I can bootcamp to a sweet, native, XP but that takes the good things away.
My dual-use experiment continues but I admit it isn't as smooth as I'd hoped. People, or at least this people, don't work well split between two universes.
