Most developers I know use MacBooks, my own staff included.
Most JS developers quite like stuff like react, and most api developers like graphQL. So while developers may dislike Facebook as a company, they don’t seem to dislike Facebook tools.
I don’t think the platform that developers like will necessarily take of though.
- feanaro 8y ago> Most developers I know use MacBooks, my own staff included I'm just letting you know that we both apparently have very biased samples on this matter.
- eksemplar 8y agoYes, people are different. :) When I was 20 years younger most developers I knew loved Linux. So maybe she plays in. I know I left gentoo for a Mac in 2006 and I’ve never looked back. I don’t dislike Linux by the way, I just don’t want to spend time configuring things anymore.
- spiritcat 8y agoperhaps gentoo was not a good fit for you? currently develop on mac but still linux at home
- eksemplar 8y agoGentoo was certainly a terrible fit, but I've had my runs with Debian, ubuntu and fedora as well, and it somehow always ends up being configuration hell, which then breaks with some random update, prompting me to do it all over. These days it's more than that though. I mean, I'm completely drenched in the apple eco-system, and it's kind of nice to get iMessages on my MacBook and sharing data between devices so easily. I now I could setup something similar with stuff like own cloud, but then I'd have to do that, instead of it just working out the box. Like I said, I don't dislike linux. I've never really disliked an OS until windows 10, but I just don't bother with technology that isn't designed for user experience anymore. Like my first smartphone was an android, I don't think I'll ever own an android phone again. :p
