    This highly dependent on what you do, do you do graphics or video editing then you are right, do you do non-Windows specific coding? Its the exact opposite.

      Not just that, same for every advanced MS Office product, any other enterprise desktop MS application, architecture, a lot of engineers…

      do you do non-Windows specific coding? Its the exact opposite.

      Jetbrains is available for all platforms and runs equally good on all of them.

        It’s not about the IDE lol. It’s about everything else. Windows does not conform to the standards everyone else does, probably deliberately.

        Also: WTF is a QWORD? And why are we SHOUTING in C? Even “qword” would have been more sensible, but no, MS decided to shout in a primarily lowercase language because why not.

          Ahaha while you aren’t wrong, you’re a bit off as well. I know lots of developers doing their jobs under Windows and they’ll be really annoyed if forced to deal with Linux for their jobs. Not everything is lower level shenanigans and to be fair almost nothing is low shenanigans nowadays. Your run-of-the-mill average developer is doing stuff in web related technologies and can get just fine under Windows. After all there’s always WSL and Docker and Microsoft did a nice job with Windows Terminal.

          You may find it hard to believe but Microsoft positioned themselves very well to take a large chunk of the current and future developer ecosystem, be it via WSL, nice tools, IDEs or whatever.
