My dad and I were in an Apple store a week or so ago and I had the exact same thought. In a parallel universe, we'd have been in the Commodore Store.
Definitely a strange feeling, to be in a place with a passionate userbase, adequate supplies, AND corporate support. I even found the staff to be knowledgeable - I had always been curious about how a PowerMac (I guess they're called MacPros now) could pop the tray on a second installed CD drive, and the guy I asked didn't know. I told him not to worry about it, but he went to find out both for me, and so he could learn it himself. (And the answer is that you press the Eject button while holding the Option key.)
A Mac will very likely be my next machine.
