Really haven't had any issues with Node, Git, VSCode and Git Bash on Windows... at least not any that you would fault Windows for. Cygwin/mingw works just fine.

The ubuntu subsystem is about as 1st class as you can get, you don't see Apple providing anything like that (or a windows subsystem for that matter)
- astrodust 8y agoWhy would Apple provide Ubuntu when it already has a complete BSD environment and things like Homebrew to add even more tools should you need them? It's ridiculous that grandma's MacBook Air has better command-line tools than a typical developer's high-end Windows Professional workstation.
- jgalentine007 8y agoBSD isn't the same as linux. Command line tools are just software, there is nothing preventing you from using bash, sh, zsh or ksh or powershell on Windows through either the linux subsystem, cygwin or ubuntu for windows. Your second statement is more ridiculous.
- astrodust 8y agoOh, you can "use" those, but the experience is absolutely atrocious because the Windows directory structure is complete chaos and it also has drive letters because in 1981 that's how CPM rolled.
- jgalentine007 8y agoBFD if you have to do 'cd /c/users/yourusername', of course 'cd ~' will take you there just like linux...
