I've seen these implied digs at mainstream design programs before, but I've used CorelDRAW to design signs much bigger and far more elaborate than any highway sign. In my shop we use a pretty wide variety of software for sign design and production -industry specific programs like Flexi, EnRoute, Onyx Thrive, RasterLink Pro as well as mainstream graphics applications like Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop and CorelDRAW. The manuals vary from company to company, but I promise they have a lot of very nit picky details. Regarding "branding programs," many large companies have very specific brand guidelines manuals and specific manuals regarding signage that must be followed strictly. And shitty looking signs are no less shitty looking because an engineer composed it rather than a graphic designer.
Principals of graphic design, tyopography, layout, etc still apply regardless of what kind of software is used.
