Do the comparison, have a look at the software and use it. If after that

I keep trying Macs at the Apple stores. Just about everything I try to
do on a Mac seems to take more clicks than it does on a PC,

Could that possibly an issue of familiarity? I'd presume you know all
the tricks and shortcuts on Windows, whereas with Mac OS, you don't?
It is my anecdotal observation that those ingrained within the Windows
way, often try to force a Mac to work just like Windows, and
inevitably walk away frustrated and disappointed. That proves nothing
other than Windows is better at being Windows than a Mac is.

plus there
seems to be much more in the way of "overlay" on Macs to keep users out
of the system.

As opposed to the Windows way which just invites you to f*ck it up?

I do like the way Macs look, though. But their bits and pieces are way
overpriced on the desktop machines.

Only if you assume bullet pointed spec sheets are the sole measure of
value. Spec for spec, quality for quality, bundle for bundle, Macs
can often compare quite favourably in my experience. Things usually
cost what they cost for a reason, even if it's not immediately obvious
why.
