For those of us long around enough to remember, the switch to intel was really smooth with a good balance of quick adoption and solid emulation for legacy apps.

I am not team Mac anymore but IMHO they did it as smoothly as auch a major change could be conducted. I have no idea where this will take the ecosystem. But apart from pissing off power users (developers mostly) and deprecating intel based hardware in the resale market I would not worry too much.
