Sure Sketch may be Mac-Only, but Xara is Windows-only. But those aren't really related to design specifically, those are more development issues.īeyond that, it's all a matter of preferences and neither system is inherently better than the other today. Or perhaps that iOS dev can not be done on anything other than a Macintosh. The only real differences any longer is that the Macintosh can run both the Mac OS and Windows without the need to 'hack' an OS to get it running. There was a time where the Mac was far, far, superior, that's simply not the case any longer. That being posted, I have clearly seen Windows close the gap in the areas where Apple was the frontrunner and the preferred system for designers.ġ5 years ago, using Windows was, at best, a lesson in frustration where design was concerned. *Disclaimer: I've been a Mac user for more than 20 years and still use a Mac daily.
