Yeah. Don't get me wrong, Texas has a lot of really cool things. I miss being able to get Torchy's when I'm hungover. I miss great BBQ everywhere. I miss patio bars on every corner. I miss being able to sit by the pool in November/December/February-ish/March. I miss golfing those months too.
I don't miss the fucking unbearable summers. You think 10 days is bad, wait until it's that way 90 days in a row. I don't miss the insane drivers. I don't miss pickup trucks or YETI stickers on everything. I don't miss the "Texas forever" attitude and general disdain for everything north of the Mason Dixon line (first time in my 29 years on this planet I was called a "Yankee").
I missed so much Chicago/northern stuff when I was down there too.
It's a mixed bag, and no where is perfect. Everyone has their preferences. I do love Austin very much and hope it works out for you guys! That town has a lot to offer.
