Getting the Mac OS is worth every penny blown on the hardware in my opinion. It really speeds up simple everyday tasks, let's you work quicker and cleaner and, most importantly, allows you to focus on your job not your computer. I'll pay extra for that any old day.

Depends. Everyone in my band uses Macs and I see them pulling their hair out all the time dealing with it. Mostly it's issues with sound recording software and hardware. I can't tell you how many times we've sat around waiting to record demo tracks while someone re-boots from crashes and tries to get the damn thing to work. This is brand new Mac Pro laptops by the way, with full hardware upgrades and hundreds of dollars worth of software.
All computers suck at one time or another. Saying one is flawless and carefree is a bit of a stretch.

Yea that's probably pro-tools. That program is a nightmare. It's the IE of recording software. It sucks ass but it's what everyone uses. So your pretty much stuck with it.
I use MOTU with great results. Then i dump stuff to wav format if were bring it somewhere to mix or master.

Oh I wouldn't take it so far as to call apple computers totally flawless and carefree. As a piece of hardware they're just about the same as any other well-built pc and I agree, all computers do suck and will eventually screw you over. It's some in-built features of the mac os that I find to be beneficial for small, everyday tasks. I also like the overall integration of the hardware and the gui. It reminds me of the difference between mhm presses and other quality makes. They all do a great job but one of them is more integrated by design.

Not unlike Adobe's Creative Suite. Quark was the go-to page layout program for years until Adobe ditched Pagemaker for InDesign, got it on OZX first, and made interaction between the Adobe programs, especially InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat, pretty seamless. By the time Quark got the rag out of their a$$ with their OSX version everybody pretty much was using InDesign. I haven't seen a Quark file in 4 years.
