I've used Macs since the Lisa and owned them since the Se (I still have my SE (upgraded to an amazing 4Mb RAM!!) and the carry case and all the programs). You won't regret switching over.
Currently I use a 24" iMac for all my work, the PC I bought just before I got this has never been turned on (I must sell it).
For photo editing you can't go past them, the only better monitors, IMHO, are the Eizo which are $2500 and upwards. I use Aperture 2, CS4, and download via media card reader. As my astronomy interest is photography at the moment I don't have any astronomical software, but it is on the line down the track.
I have a wireless setup using Airport Extreme and also have a 15" MacBook Pro and an old Titanium laptop, all work seamlessly within range.
