Now if I just got a Mac, I'd have to spend a bazillion bucks getting
it up to the speed and capability of my PC.

If I just got a Mac, I'd have to completely change my preferred way of
working, to a system that I find restricting and too inflexible.

If I just got a Mac, I'd spend months and years finding software that
did the things that I want at a price I could afford (if the software
existed in the first place).

If I just got a Mac, I'd be at the whim of one company who's idea of
'taste' is bright, transparent cheap bits of old plastic that in less
than two years now needs replacing because it looks far too dated and
you can't replace any of the parts.

Trouble is with all that though is that I have got a Mac.

I use it two or three times a week for creating music and doing the
odd spot of development work. 

Despite that, I still far prefer a PC for pretty much any task you
care to mention.
