I stopped working for a company because they forced me to use MS Visual tools. I could work with MS tools, but I want to be able to choose it if appropriate, I want to be the one who takes the decision, not someone that hardly ever codes a line. BTW, I program mainly on MacOS and Linux, and every piece of software has to be multiplatform (work on windows too). The code is way more robust if you force yourself to compile in several platforms, you discover bugs early with very little work. In my experience working on only one platform means letting bugs grow that will byte you in the worst moment later. For me is penny wise, dollar foolish strategy.
