Well, it benefits developers who use Windows machines and develop applications for Linux.

  I'm genuinely curious as to what drives a developer to run Linux on Windows rather than just booting into a Linux environment. Is that software support? Is that hardware support that's not available on Linux?

    Desktop linux has been much less reliable for me. I'm also using a surface device and like to use it for sketching.

      Special input devices is a thing. I doubt the Cintiq would work with any of my Linux boxes in the same way it does on the Mac. This is how we end up with multiple computers... In general, desktop Linux has been rock solid for me. I even keep my music collection on BtrFS and, yes, I know it's tempting fate.
