I can't disagree more. I converted my gaming machine to a hackintosh several years ago. My hardware is now a few years behind but it still runs great. It sat unused for months after I built it originally because using Windows was just painful. It's been my primary machine since changing.
Mind you the I didn't select the hardware with the intention of putting Mac OS on it. Doing system updates is pretty easy process. The only issues I have are with sound kexts but it's an easy fix. Most updates pose no problems.
The process is much much easier than I used to be.
