You will never look back. I used to be an avid PC hobbyist and used to build PC's as a hobby, but I got fed up with the Windoze OS. Even with my frustration at a boiling point, it was a big step to go out and buy a Mac. I have NEVER regretted the switch. You will have a 10 minute learning curve. That's it. Apple designed their OS and their hardware so that the average customer could pick it up and just use it, with little or no grief. I just wish I could get back the MONTHS of my life wasted tinkering, reinstalling, rebooting, and just gnashing my teeth in general.
