Developers /need/ a POSIX compliant environment you say? You speak for all of them?

• mindcrash 11y ago
  For anything else other than .NET development a POSIX compliant environment is highly advantageous over a Windows environment. I speak out of experience.

    I think any devs making the very unlikely switch to Windows would know what they need to do get their POSIX fix. In any case, this article seems to be rightly aimed at non devs.

      Why would you go this route though? Unless you must do .NET professionally, there's no real reason for devs these days to use anything Windows. It just makes everything much more complicated, and many compromises because of platform readiness of many of the cutting edge projects (everything seems to start today on OSX/Linux).

  That's not the point. This is about people switching to Wintel from MacBook (assuming they didn't buy a MacBook pro just to install Windows). Developer that use Mac/OS X use it because it's a UNIX machine, so moving to not POSIX compliant does not make much sense.
