both cool for different reasons. collin county is almost featurelss & flat, where driving around roads of austin can be cool due to elevation change. far north suburbs of dallas all look the same cookie cutter, but with so much money attracted to the area you never need to leave the suburbia bubble for dining, shopping "some" entertainment. dallas (DFW) in general has a more robust interstate systems with tons of maintained tolling, but is sooo spread out from one extreme corner to the opposite corner of the metro plex. dallas has more robust mass transit in the train system. we actually get winter a bit further north.
austin has a cooler vibe, but can be a bit pricier to live overall due to all the high degrees and technology. the areas west of the city are fun to drive. austin kills in the live music routine, but at times dallas being major metro gets national acts that never see any further south. but dependent your tastes and austins quirky nature, artists may never the other cities. austin gets hot af but with the rivers not far away everyone cools off there..
