Daniel Johns from silverchair and page Hamilton from helmet played PRS for a time for all that matters.

If you don't think this looks rock n roll then please check your pants to check that your testicles are still intact.
Personally I much prefer the plainer instruments to the blingy ones. A plain black CE3 with faux binding and dot inlays is pure sex, and I also lust after a Mira Anniversary too - not bling by PRS standards at all and that Mira ^ is really good looking IMHO.
The sound has been an issue for PRS in the past and is documented in the book by whats-his-face, Burluck, is it? The Artist grade guitars were an attempt to beef the sound up IIRC. They play 'ok' to me but they are nothing extraordinary. The 25" scale feels weird to me, while the Gibson scale feels good and the Fender scale feels good the PRS scale feels odd. The 245 guitars feel way better than the Customs and McCartys.
They also do some weird things. Why does the Custom 22/McCarty, which already has a shorter and stiffer neck have that ugly massive heel when logically the 24 fret instruments, which have a longer neck, would benefit from the same, but they have a much shorter heel?
Anyway, I think I may have drifted off topic a bit, soz.
I think there're plenty of big names out there who use PRS guitars, I can think of quite a few off the top of my head; Santana, of course, Shinedown, Nickelback, Pat Travers, Peter Frampton, Alex Lifeson, Ted Nugent, Massive Attack, that Tremonit bloke, Dave Grissom and that's just to name a few, there must be many, many more.
However, there are many more who don't use PRS than do, but you can probably say that about any brand of guitar, even the big two.

Bit of trading feedback here.
Similarly, with Fender I don't like the trem systems or the flat headstock that necessitates those little trees to hold the strings down.
So, for me...PRS is just a better design that I prefer to play. Plus they are so much more value for money, quality-wise. I only have one and it's a very plain all-mahogany CE24 without birds, so not at all bling.
The players I really like do tend to play PRS more often than not too - so for me, they are cool. But then, I'm not cool so who am I to say?
I don't understand when people say PRS is 'boring'. What does that even mean? Guitars are planks of wood with strings on. It's what people do with them that makes them interesting or boring surely.
I think I am catching a faint smell of class envy on this thread. In case you can't smell it, it is an odour that some people experience when they realise someone earns a pound more than they do; that's the smell. Once you know what you are smelling, you can't miss it.
Great!
If the Labour Party had an official guitar, it would be something sold in collusion with the Harrisons!
