Color is accurate, and on this front, Adobe benefits not only from decades of experience and partnerships, but also from the tight integration between Illustrator and other Creative Cloud products, that also happen to be ubiquitous in the design industry.
The granular control Adobe Illustrator provides to type functions has no competition. Typography is something very important to me. Each tools can be tweaked to each specific need or taste and the workspace can be also tailored to specific design scenarios. Another advantage of this ubiquity is that most professional design studios 'speak' Adobe allowing for easy collaboration and reliability of outcomes. Standards! Adobe Illustrator has been around for decades, and this shows in the level of refinement of its tools. I find it to be a reliable design powerhouse. Honestly I always use perhaps 10% of its power.
I have been using Illustrator over 25 years.
