This sounds just like my experience with the Surface Book.
It's the best laptop I've ever owned, but the OS still requires some improvement.
With that being said, for the first time in years I've felt that Windows isn't a million miles away from becoming a developer-friendly OS.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoWindows historically was incredibly developer friendly, assuming that by "developer" you mean "application developer" instead of "web developer". That's part of the reason their OS became and maintained its dominance.
- Someone1234 8y agoIt is the distinction between developMENT friendly verses developER friendly. Windows is incredibly developMENT friendly in terms of writing software, but it hasn't historically been developER friendly (i.e. power user). They've been doing a lot recently to address that, including the Power User Menu, "For Developer" Settings, WSL, Task View (multi-desktop), better multi-monitor support, etc. MacOS still has advantages, but the gap has narrowed.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y ago> but it hasn't historically been developER friendly (i.e. power user) I have no idea on what basis you are making that assertion. I feel like until Windows 10, Windows enabled me as a user far more than any other contemporary OS.
