I can see where you a coming from.  One piece of software will never suit everyone.  I work at a school and have had the reverse problem.  Mac is predominant here and I can easily access hardware.  PC’s have gained a foothold but I have not always had great IT support or availability the way I have had on Macs.  Many times I have come across PC only software that would meet my needs but not be able to access it without Bootcamp or a dedicated PC.  

I tell people I can work cross platform.  I can just as easily crash a Mac or PC.

So in conclusion, if you are a PC person Qlab is NOT going to be useful.  I have had people rave about the Dataton system for PC and looked into it.  If I were a PC facility it appears to have the capabilities that I would need at a slightly higher cost than Qlab but maybe even more powerful.
