The rise of the SSD should convince you. What was a good system is now an excellent system - OSX benefits hugely from the extra speed. Fusion drive is that much better - it really is the size of a spindle with the speed of a solid-state drive. I've used both Windows and Linux for work before, and Mac is the only setup that's saved me time instead of wasting it. I found it worth getting used to.
