Having used the Windows version of AutoCAD in the past at work and learned CAD on a PC, while the Mac version looks a bit different (tools on the side of the drawing pane) it's essentially the same.
On the pro side from what I've found and I've been using the Mac version since 2016, it's very stable, very few crashes in the program. In the event AutoCAD does freeze or lock up, drawing recovery works well.
& the Mac OS never crashes. I honestly can't recall ever having to hit command-option-escape, the Mac equivalent of control-alt-delete.
In the event some other application does freeze, be it Word or Excel, quitting and restarting the application works with no need for a reboot.
The Mac operating system (OS X) is quite stable in my experience & I've been using Macs since OS 8. Pre OS X was a different story, nowhere near as stable.
The biggest cons for me are no Design Center in the Mac version, and no DWF option for plotting.
I'm just starting to tinker with LISP and can't really speak to that on features Windows has that Mac lacks.
I have submitted mechanical drawings to machine shops for fabrication of parts and they've had no issues loading Mac created files on PCs and loading these programs into CNC machines.
I've never run virtual PC on my Macs and would say that performance would be slower than just running the windows version on a PC.
I'm running the latest version of AutoCAD LT for Mac on a 14 inch MacBook Pro (2023), M2 processor, 2 TB solid state drive with 32 GB of RAM.
