my "credentials" SF 14 years, Seattle 3, Austin 5
Austin, TX: really great (and surprisingly large/active for size of city) tech/meetup/UG scene. Very low unemployment, did not get devastated by housing bubble. Don't let "Texas" scare you off. Austin is a diverse, liberal, urban center. Texas charm without stereo-typed bigoted redneckness. No snow. Live music capital of world. It is a small city (which may be good or bad depending on POV)
Seattle, WA: probably the 2nd largest tech hub. But, I really didn't like it. Too expensive, too Microsoft, horrible climate (depressive short winter days).
