This depends upon the type of environment you have previously worked with. Some prefer MAC and some Windows. According to my understanding the best platform for Front end engineers would be a Windows computer. The reason is that Windows is far more user friendly than a MAC OS. It is flexible and most of the softwares are compatible with Windows.

From where I am seeing, it really doesn't matter either you are using PC or MAC. For me, both have same values but definitely, both have advantages and disadvantages.

I believe there isn't much of a difference in the programs, obviously  controls will be different. Macs were targeting different markets than PC's, A few years back price would have been an issue with Macs out of reach for personal use but nowadays it's what you are comfortable with since applications are the same on both platforms that takes us back to there isn't much of a difference.

This one I think depends with the exact speciality.

Macs are awesome because they are hadder to hack compared to PCs.
