As a designer myself, I certainly like that I can add 32GB to my skylake iMac, however I've never felt the strong need to upgrade. Even when I'm dealing with massive Sketch and Photoshop documents, tons of chrome tabs, running a development environment & editing code, etc all simultaneously (and watching activity monitor carefully), it's been my experience that my workflow has been limited primarily by CPU speed and the fact that Sketch and Adobe products need serious performance optimization. Even running nothing at all, Sketch and just about anything from Adobe will chug on simple tasks at random times. Certainly brute forcing it by throwing more resources their way would help (always been my strategy), but that has serious diminishing returns. Good points about VMs and edu market.
