CC2015 is so bad I bought a copy of Sketch.

    At least PS it's available on Windows, too. Not everyone has a mac.

      That is true.

      True.I used to intern at a Giant and at that time, they force everyone to use Thinkpad. This is super painful... They start to give designer team Macs after I left.

      Sure. But why wouldn't you want the best tools / machine available to do your job? Why deliberately handicap yourself with the dearth of great software options on Windows when with a Mac, you get all the rich software plus can virtualize Windows alongside?

        I agree that the Mac it's more stable and fast but it is also expensive, at least in Romania where the average salary is ~600 euro.

          More stable? Sorry but my PC's haven't really crashed since... well to be honest, I don't recall. Probably years ago.

          That's fair. Not being able to afford the best tools doesn't mean failing to recognize that not all tools are created equal, so I'll concede the global currency arbitrage point.

          Corollary: It also means not failing to recognize that there's no metric for which a Windows box -- hardware, software, ecosystem, resale value, App store -- isn't an inferior tool.

          A mac is not that much more expensive when you consider you don't have to pay for the OS, don't have to buy an AV or office software. The rest of the cost is justified by the support you get, better looks and technologies, etc.

          p.s. I'm also Romanian, I remember breaking the bank to buy my first mac.

        You can do everything you stated above with a PC... Creative Cloud is cross-platform and if you know what you're doing you can build a hackintosh.

        edit: Not to mention with better specs for cheaper than the cost of an IMAC or MBP

      On the same note this is the single biggest reason I'm not fully committing to Sketch. I love the app and it has a great community but it doesn't support Windows and probably never will. This wouldn't normally be an issue since I've used macbooks for the past six years but I've gotten tired of paying for overpriced laptops.
