I find myself hoping Microsoft makes a comeback and they are really doing a lot to win developers which I think is the right move. Obviously, they are a huge platform and developers inherently will be using it but they have taken a lot of great steps like open sourcing this engine as well as other projects. The Code editor they released is built on Atom Electron and seems more performant than Atom in the few experiences I have had switching between them. If they can continue to gain trust in the community and improve their UI they could become great again. You can tell they have thought about how to do this. A few years ago now I remember the guys from the IE team did an AMA about the new explorer IIRC it was 10. They talked about cross browser compatibility and wanted developer feedback. I am not sure if they are actually an "underdog" but I find myself feeling like that, and hoping they can get it together.
