The point??? There's not really a point. Just like if you'd change car from let's say a chrysler to a ford. It's different, stuff isn't in the same place, it doesn't work exactly the same way. You know, the main reason for someone to switch is when you're tired of always having to deal with windows, or whatever OS you could use. If you're perfectly happy with windows, and don't like to deal with computer problems, then stay with windows.
But there are a few reasons that could justify to switch (and again, you don't have to switch completely, dual boot is possible). First, you can no longer stand windows (because of instability, viruses, whatever). Second, it could be because you just like to mess with computers. Finally, it can be customizability, freedom and the price it cost (ie 0 in most cases). Personally, I switched (this is posted from my windows computer. I still use windows on a regular basis) because I like to mess with computers, and because I can completely organize my desktop the way I like. My menu (which is about the equivalent of the start menu in some desktop environment (cause there's more than one)) is exactly where I want it to be, and not always bottom left like MS wants it to be. And at first, I only wanted to try it, but since I had hardware that wasn't behaving well with the version I had chosen, well I fought hard to make it work, and in the end, I just didn't want to let go so much work.
So if you have no good reason to switch, then don't. But you can try it if you want to, as it's free, and you can get rid of it after if you just don't like it.
