Earnest question, why your preference for Windows? From reading your other comments (and my experience) I'm guessing GUI programming and Visual Studio debugger? I do glue-programming (mostly Python) and admin. I've been at Linux shops for 10+ years and recently switched to a Windows shop. I've been trying to give it an earnest chance but can't stand it.
- pjmlp 10y agoI know Windows since 3.0, and do GUI related coding since those days also had some friends on the Amiga demoscene, mostly with the 500 model. I know UNIX since Xenix, and used DG/UX, Aix, HP-UX, Solaris, OS X, FreeBSD and lots of GNU/Linux distributions starting with Slackware 2.0. After a decade of using UNIX like systems, and Windows as well, while researching everything that came out of Xerox PARC, and being an Oberon user for a short while, I came to realize that Apple and Microsoft developer cultures are closer to Xerox dreams of how computing should look like, than UNIX where X Windows is just a manager of xterms. Also I never was a big fan of C, even back on MS-DOS days, where I would rather use Turbo Pascal or Turbo C++.
