I switch to macs 5 years ago for the combination of a nice GUI on top of a UNIX OS. I've never regretting that decision. The UI kicks ass. I never felt that Linux desktops could compare back then. I still don't believe their up to snuff yet. Correct me if I'm wrong. The unix part is awesome, its been easy to get things up and running. I can get a full LAMP stack going with ease thanks to macports. Installing Python (multiple versions side by side) and Java is trivial. C is available by default. I won't deny there are some occasional problems but those have been few and far between.
