That doesn't surprise me. I've been to all the Texas cities several times and I always enjoy Austin the most.

I actually like Austin, but people just take it to another level.

To a Texan, sure. But, Austin has an appeal to Californians, which is a major reason so many of them have moved there. As far as terrain and climate goes, it's probably most similar of Texas cities to southern California, which is what I imagine to be its biggest draw. Plus, it has the reputation of being a very liberal city (which isn't necessarily the case) which makes it even more appealing to everybody but those from Bakersfield.

To a Texan, it is overrated. It's a bit too much of a been-there-done-that kind of city. It's easy to outgrow. We like to visit it for concerts and festivals and to make use of the outdoors there, but living there is... well... meh.

As far as my choices about the cities, I really like them all but I think I would become the most bored in Sacramento. Then again, it's also the city I have the least experience with. The only time I have ever been there I was nine. Outside of that, my only other experience with it (and I'm about to date myself here) was from the tv show Eight Is Enough.

In CA - San Francisco (or other select locations in the Bay Area).
Didn't much care for L.A., and San Diego just wasn't that appealing to my tastes.

In TX - Houston.
Dallas is too sterile-looking for my tastes, and overly concerned with what you look like (just like L.A.). Lived in Austin several years and thought it was just so-so, and San Antonio isn't dynamic enough for me.
