Rep Power: 10 DaWei is on a distinguished road
There is some historical basis for the preference of Macs by professional graphics designers. The first PC that had really nice graphics was the Commodore 64. The first one (PC) to really accommodate professionals was the Mac. There's a lot to graphical reproduction if one is moving things from a screen to a medium like a magazine page. Mac and Mac software addressed these issues. Reputations, deserved or otherwise, tend to persist beyond their actual maintenance.
