Anyone else have experience in this aspect:
> I’ve written about web development on Windows 10 before, but even since a year ago it’s come such a long way. The Bash on Windows environment is now so performant and well supported that you won’t even know the difference if you move from a MacBook, and Microsoft continues to improve it at an impressive clip.
> Unless you’re using Xcode, your workflow will almost certainly move from macOS to Windows as a non-event: it’s that good now, and I spend most of my time living in the Bash environment without any problems — even with complicated situations like Symlinks inside Bash now actually working fully.
[emphasis mine] Good for Microsoft if so, but I have to wonder if it's one of those situations where everything works well until you hit a brick wall and have to re-setup everything on Mac/Linux to stay productive.
This comment bothered me:
> Generally, the sticking point for designers is Sketch, which to date refuses to build a Windows client — a ridiculous, anti-user move that I hope eventually will cause people to reconsider it in their workflows.
Especially from a developer, that seems like a very uncharitable, demanding interpretation. Is there more to the story? Maybe the author being a web developer influences that view or he just loves Sketch and is bitter to have left it behind.
