Absolutely!
I went PC-Mac in 2007 after my previous laptop - an £1800 IBM Thinkpad - went back to IBM for repair one time too many in the first few years.
The industry I'm in is so Mac biased, people are almost religious about Macs, and their self-righteous smugness was what kept my from trying a Mac for so long. However, once I got one, after about a week I was seeing some benefit - after a month I knew I'd never go back.
Generally speaking, Macs just work. PCs always took me a hideous amount of time trying to get them to do what I wanted. Macs just do it, it's almost a bit boring in a way.
