I've been running on a Mac for the last 2 years, after 20'ish years of Windows work. At this point I'm 50/50. There are things I HATE about both system.
* Window management in OSX is a complete joke (docking and sizing), I've lost all faith that Apple will ever get that right.
* The shell and terminal support is better in OSX (yes, powershell is there, but not by default, and the standard DOS shell sucks)
* I have to reboot both systems once a month to keep them working. Others disagree here, but I find OSX no more stable than Windows.
* OSX Sound Drivers (WTF! -- I constantly lose sound support on my MacBook Pro)
* Microsoft is much faster at fixing issues than Apple (I have a bunch of long standing OSX bugs that span multiple versions, and a couple of new ones with the current release)
* I no longer feel the love for Apple hardware. Every iteration is made harder to upgrade than the last.
* The Apple App Store is so much better than Microsoft's Store.
* Safari is IE: they are both browsers you should only use to download a better browser.

Judging from the system-wide beachballs and frequent fan spin-ups for no obvious reason back when I used Firefox, I assume it would be even worse than Chrome. Its developer tools aren't that different from Chrome's, either, and it's got a decent selection of plugins. I have Chrome installed and occasionally use it, but close it ASAP.
