There is a whole series of blog posts behind this Lightroom/Aperture comparison at oreilly.com:

I started using Lightroom (beta) before my move back to Mac, so had already become familiar with it and liked the ability to share my image database between PC and Mac while I made the transition.
CS3 universal binary on the Mac was, of course, a key factor in my switching platforms, as I’ve been a long-time user of Photoshop. The integration of Lightroom, Camera Raw and PS (running as fast as on my PC), plus the unalloyed joy of the Mac interface again, is a winning combination for me.
I’ve since tried Aperture, and Capture One and iView, and find them all absolutely fine, but none of them offer the integration advantages of the Adobe suite for the kind of work I do.
Also, I must say that I find the LR interface a joy to use, but I know some dislike it. Had I started off by using Aperture maybe I would feel differently, but I don’t think so.
