I've lived via proxy in Raleigh for 7 years now (my mom lives there, so I'm always there). It's a family town....VERY family. It is starting to get expensive and crowded...I've only been in Chapel Hill once when I visited our chapter there and it was very charming. The career opportunites are very small there if you aren't in education, IT, medicine, or agriculture. There isn't much to do down there compared to a big city like Atlanta....
I visited Atlanta quite a few times when my cousin lived there (last visit was July 2002) and it's not bad. Its suburbs are very extensive, traffic is a biatch. Booming area, so the career opportunities are falling from the sky! But it has all the small town charms in a large urban area...
Between the two, I would pick Atlanta if I were a young couple, Raleigh if you are ready to start a family....
