I never liked Macs back in the day but then ended up with a number of different 68k Macs in my collection alongside some similar age PC hardware. I have to say, the Macs were so far ahead of the PC stuff of that era it's not even funny, there's just no contest. 640x480 or higher with 8 bit color, multi-monitor capable, plug & play that worked, clean polished UI, mice/keyboards that could be daisy chained, onboard SCSI, 3.5" floppies with electric eject that detect disc insertion, built in 8 bit audio in the early ones, 16 bit stereo later. With exception of the low cost consumer models the hardware design is slick, resembling that of high end workstations. A Mac II from 1987 makes a 286 DOS PC look like an antique relic. You could pop 6 video cards in the Mac and connect 6 different monitors, everything would auto-detect and configure and it would boot up with each monitor set to the proper resolution, I didn't see proper multi-monitor on PCs until Windows NT and it was tricky to set up.
The downside is they were very expensive, and they sort of stagnated while PCs steadily improved and eventually surpassed them in most ways.
