Yes, there is a huge gap. Windows has way better development tools and the OS is leaps ahead of the Mac OS.

  The Surface line is what Macs would be if SJ was still alive

    Nope. Jobs was adamant that laptops shouldn't have touch screens. I tend to agree with him.

      Having one doesn't make the laptop worse somehow especially when you don't have use it.

      Jobs was also adamant that the iPhones wouldn’t have apps...

  That depends on your tools and platforms of choice. For most open source stuff, Windows has less support than Linux and macOS because it usually requires tweaks (build tools, libs, etc).

    > For most open source stuff, Windows has less support...because it usually requires tweaks. That's not true at all. The Macintosh OS easily requires more tweaks than Windows to do things like Python, Go, Node.js and Rust. Everything is better on Windows.

    I usually see this as a purposeful choice of open source teams and developers. It's not like you CAN'T create an easy and thorough build process for Windows machines. Even if you ignore turning it into a VS solution, batch files can do the job, but nobody is willing to do the extra work because they personally don't use Windows so it won't benefit them.
