My experience tells me that even though Macs aren't as perfect as some might think, it's far and away the more trouble-free path. I doubt I'll ever have to use a PC again and would never recommend one to anyone.
If somebody asks me, then doesn't want to use/buy/go Mac, then "…buy whatever you want".
I just had to explain how iTunes worked to a (Mac) user and it was pretty confusing frankly.
My observation is Apple's help forums are packed with people seeking assistance (this forum has quite a few queries for Mac help as well) and the Apple stores have lines of people needing assistance with their Apple devices pretty much every single day. This is similar to pretty much all similar non Apple devices as well. Not a jab at Apple.
I get the point your are making, but if someone needs a new computer for under $600, what do you suggest to them? When people give me a budget, I give them a solution. If the people only have "x" dollars, and "x" dollars is somewhere between a 25%-66% of the budget for a new Mac, is the only option to say "Buy what you want since you don't like my solution that is well over your budget." Doesn't seem helpful. Even when people aren't paying me, I still try to help them.
