I've only been there once in 2001, but let me tell you, I loved it. Maybe my dispositions are a bit premature, but I'll take a stab.
I found the people there to be very friendly and mellow. It is a city, so things are rushed, traffic is bad during rush hour, and people are busier, but common courtesy is still exhibited (people holding doors open for others, using turn signals in traffic, etc.) The city is compact--it is a very cosmopolitan but not too sprawled city (the second part is changing, though.) Sixth St. is hopping, SoCo is hip, the lakefront is incredible, and so is the skyline at night. The Texas State Capitol is a sight to behold, also--talk about massive! Plus, it's still close to San Antonio, Round Rock, D/FW, and Houston.
In short, Austin rocks! It seems to beat the heck out of the Louisville, KY area, where I live now. I'd like to transfer down there, live, and check it out (even though it's kinda expensive.)
