Ask HN: Any programmer/developer using Windows as their primary OS?
- severus 10y agoYes
- zero_one_one 10y agoI wish I had more upvotes to give this answer!
- andreicon 10y agoI'm using it at work and it's a pain. Don't go down that path unless you're writing windows applications. For anything else, use a real OS
- Garvey 10y agoI'm using it at work and it's a pleasure. Use whatever fits your workflow and try not to be put off by comments like this that offer no useful information.
- XtalJ 10y agoAt my new job, yes, but I solved the hideous problem by installing Babun, which is a package of a fairly good terminal emulator (mintty), cygwin, package manager, and my beloved zsh :-) I can use vim, grep, ls, find, sed, shell scripts, and much more. Like on Linux but without the possiblity to choose fluxbox as window manager.
- boznz 10y agoI would suspect most are.. I doubt they read HN though
