I've always used PCs. Then I got a job that forced me to set up a mac lab with an xserv and 24 Imacs. it was awful, mostly because this was late '02 and OSX had just come out, and it was buggy. Apple care reps had to replace 18 of the 24 machines.
I found though, when i got the damn thing working, that I could see why Apple folks liked the mac. it has appeal, but I could never get comfortable with it.
They're just different. Different look. Different feel. Different subtleties. I sit down in front of a mac, my productivity suffers. i feel like i've got one arm tied behind my back. I suspect a mac user goes through the same thing when he sits down in front of a pc.
The one thing I find easier about the PC is in the area of global communications, and at the most basic level. When you're trying to show someone something online, perhaps to someone who is not all that tech-savvy, it's A LOT EASIER knowing they're using the exact same operating system you are, when you start in with the, "Okay, now click Start, then programs, locate adobe"... etc.
