I have to say, as someone who grew up on PC's, I found the switch to modern Macs to be not just easy, but actually improved my productivity. The first thing I noticed was, I used my thumb for more keyboard short-cuts, rather than extending my pinky to press ctrl. This makes a subtle but notable improvement in my efficiency. For the record, I'm using a MacBook Pro from 2010. There are other niceties as well. Most of them are small but cumulative. I do like the fact that its BSD based, and I have a familiar bash shell. If you judged *any* brand by how they were built in the 80's, you'd be missing out on a whole lot :-)
