No regrets. Switched from 30+ years of using PCs and Windows because I got tired of being Windows support every weekend.
I also got tired of MS' penchant for reveling in complexity seemingly for its own sake. Their corporate culture seems to seek to maximize complexity maybe more than Oracle, which is a tall order. Look at Teams and you'll see what I mean.
Mac is complex too, in different ways, but it is easy to adapt to. It is also extremely stable (almost on the order of VMS stable [yes, I'm that old] and at least as stable as Linux).
One thing Windows has always seemed to do better: WiFi. I've had bizarre and frustrating problems with WiFi on Macs for years and years. It works well once it works, but sometimes it just doesn't seem to connect and function as well as Windows WiFi. It's almost as if MacOS doesn't fully comply with standards or something. But that's not even close to reason enough to go back to Windows for me.
