We integrated 30+ Macs into our AD environment, and it was not painful at all. The domain is a mix of 2008 R2 and 2003, so you can imagine that most people would figure it would be difficult to integrate them, but it wasn't. All of them are on Snow Leopard, so maybe that's the difference from your experience? We have all of them logging in using their domain accounts and it was not much more difficult than it is to add a Windows PC to a domain, although some additional information is required to be entered in the Directory Services tool to get them attached.
One thing I do enjoy from a support standpoint is the ability to remote control our work from home folks...we end up doing screen shares with the sales and other regional managers and any training or software issues have been resolved rapidly with that built in tool.
