I've had both, and now have about 4 Mac's about the house (my son is a web/graphic designer so that helps), plus iPhone, iPad, you get the picture.
The only PC I have is solely used for imaging, and is a reasonable, but not the latest desktop that is firmly attached to the base of the rolling pier that is my imaging unit.
The only area that is problematic for me at present is capture software, and I can if necessary get round that by going to the likes of Nebulosity, but right now I am ingrained in capture software that is Windoze only.
Processing software presents new challenges, as I have CCDStack, again Windoze only. However I am thinking very seriously of going completely to PixInSight as it is Mac as well, native OSX Mac, not Virtual.
Baz, the simple answer is no I don't think the images are going to turn out any better, honestly.
Yes PS and the likes will work under the Mac, but you will need to get the appropriate Mac versions. I do and they go well.
There will be folk who suggest running Windoze within the OSX system and I draw the line at that, I don't/won't and haven't, hence the sole imaging PC.
Like Steffen eludes though, the stress levels are way lower, Macs are great, and for day to day about the house stuff, unbeatable, but I am significantly biased. They "just work".
Go back the PC and Windoze? Me? Never.
