I've only been using Apple products for about 3 years. Currently I have a MacBook Pro and 3GS. The main reason I switched, since most feaures I cared about could be found on multiple platforms, was build quality. It would be hard to deny that the unibody laptops Apple makes are incredibly solid and long-lasting. Same goes for an iPhone with a basic amount of care. The side-effect of this is resale value. Of course the iPhone's resale value is inflated due to the unlocked market, but even the laptops have insane resale value. It's nice to know that when I need to upgrade I can pay for 30%+ of a new model with the proceeds of selling my current one. Go out and pay $2000 for a plastic laptop, use it and abuse it for a year and try to sell it. Paint will be rubbed off, there will be squeaky loose panels, people will only laugh. Again, these are just my personal reasons for choosing Apple at this time, I am more than willing to give other companies a chance if they can manage to make great hardware to go with their great software. So I really don't feel myself held hostage by anyone but AT&T and I am definitely not in love with them, so no, there is no Stockholm Syndrome here.
