Wow, this feels like looking into a mirror....
I've got the same background as you, startet on a mac IIfx in '93 as a graphic designer and have had the same issues as described by you as a web systems developer.
Finally got all fed up by it and quit - to become a helo pilot has been the best lifestyle choice ever, don't we all agree on that?
I am still a mac user today - recently bought a mac pro, completely over the top since i don't do use it for design nor web anymore, but still love it.
And to all you Windose users out there - believe it or not, I've NEVER had a single virus over the past 15 years using a Mac. Not one.
That alone speaks for itself!!
