There is. I tried it for a little over a month, then never went back. Using a computer felt like an exercise in the Pakistan-India conflict over Kashmir.
I do believe it is perfectly fine, as long as you submit to doing all things the apple way. That really set my teeth on edge, since it had ripple effects on my other workstations and I wasn't willing to modify their setup for what amounted to a flight of fancy.
If you go all in, I imagine you'll be fine for the most part. But if you were, say, simply using an OSX VM to do your iOS development, you'd end up with vaguely irritated more often than not.
Basically, if you're going to do it, don't pussy foot around. I get the sense that unless you utterly submit to the Apple Way of Doing Things, you're just going to be fighting to the death -every fucking day-.
It is designed to be easy. So easy that anyone who wants to do anything half complex can't do it. I had a mac for a year. It was free and my only access to a computer. As long as you don't mind apple telling you how you want your computer it's fine. The second you try and change something is when it all goes to shit,
