Vegas has become very popular among higher-end independent
videographers. I would call it a cult-like following including some
very respected industry professionals. However, it still trails FCS by
leaps and bounds and has never made inroads into facilities who
generally stick with FCS or Avid.

It's really a matter of comparing everything feature-for-feature but
overall, the advantage of a Mac is going to be a richer feature set for
the money, greater pool of available support from a much larger
installed user base and in general, a lower rate of repairs (based on
annual statistics). You probably get a lot more bang for the buck but
I haven't heard anyone say anything negative about Vegas.
