I've got Suitcase Fusion 3 installed on my Intel MacBook, and haven't noticed anything untowards. A little over 2000 fonts, turn 'em on and off as I need them.

It is as Frog says.

I use one in addition to my Mac. The PC is faster than my Mac but only because my Mac is oh. 5-6 years older and it's jsut a Mac Mini.  The first of it's kind at the time and it's much slower. Still, I can do so many more things on it "easier" than I can on the PC.  Font control for one is much easier.

I did not switch.  I have both. One is not better better than the other for any one job function. You can use both of them to get your job done. Is one more efficient than the other?  I think so or it could be just comfort and ease of use. That alone is valuable. I purchased a PC because I was strapped for cash and needed to speed things up. The more speedier Mac was more money. I went with the lesser of the two in terms of cost. It's more difficult to use but it gets the job done as well.

I don't think most people release just how messed up a system can get from corrupt fonts and too many loaded into the system. or  free fonts that some Hack created in  front creator.

Thank God My Mac book pro runs any PC softare & Games without the need for that ( Other) OS  8)

I have more fonts than anybody will ever need or I'll ever use. I use a font manager to see them and I load them as I need them. No reason why you have to actually load that many fonts on startup. Why waste system resources to preview them in the app when you can just as easy preview and load from a font manager when needed?
As a former programmer, I just happened to "learn" on a PC, otherwise, I may be a MAC user today.
Regarding PC vs MAC users, MAC users are pompous sob's  ;)
