It's amazing. I used to hate Microsoft. I wasn't a programmer or even that technical but I still kept trying to use linux in college, I jumped on the reboot of Netscape/Firebird/Firefox, and I wrote a long essay comparing Bill Gates to a Robber Baron.
But this past couple of years they've just improved their offerings, particularly those for devs, incessantly. I was kind of on the fence about VSC vs Atom a year and a half ago. Now it's not only far faster but also a significant boost in productivity. Ubuntu tools are available from inside Windows. Office, the very program I most used to love to hate, is killing it.
I still have a macbook, but it's been gathering dust. The iMac 27" was my favorite computer I've owned but the Surface Studio has leapfrogged beyond it. Especially as a creative dev, it's hard to justify staying with Apple at this point.
