"Macs 'just work' so often, and so well, that I'd rather just use my computer than spend all my time maintaining it. There are already scores of religious fanboy zealots who are going to tell you how great the Mac is, and why you should switch. I'm not going to. I'll let them convince you. But beware. Just because the Mac is an excellent computer, that doesn't mean it's panacea. Here are some things you're going to want to pay attention to as you switch."

What he doesn't mention is: get used to buying your hardware from one and only one supplier, with a rather limited range. Also, get used to a limited range of software.
Nothing to do with how it feels, really, except for the second. But!
More accurate: get used to being able to run OS X/Linux/BSD/Windows on one machine and thus being able to run more software. Mactels are a dream come true for developers.
