I've just recently switched to a Mac and frankly it works well enough for design. Unfortunately Photoshop is way too slow for me under Rosetta so I use my old PC for Photoshop work. For programming the Mac is fine, Smultron is my favorite text editor for it, and because of its BSD core I can use it as an Apache server for testing, but I've already designated my old PC for that job.

Frankly I'm more productive on the Mac because there are less distractions for me. I don't have any games that could distract me, and trust me I lack the self control to resist them otherwise. Really it's a matter of preference. If you liked your old Mac then you'll like your new one. It's simple.
