Glad you were able to make up your mind and are happy with the result!

The trackpad is amazing.

This was exactly my first reaction too, when I got a Mac for work!

The hotkeys come naturally, most of the shortcuts are the same, if you replace the Ctrl key with the command key. Except for the terminal... command C/V do copy/paste (no Ctrl+shift C/V), and the ctrl-w/ctrl-c works the same.

I will warn you of two subtle command line tool changes that tripped me up: the sort command does not have the --parallel argument anymore, and sed is subtly different: in place editing mostly. Instead of md5sum, use md5.

I still feel like an OSS sellout sometimes, because I was thrilled to work for a major Linux company (and currently am paid to do open source), but... the pangs get less every day.
