Its not just developers. $job's entire IT department is full of willful Windows 10 users. When questioned, they defend all these "features" as if you'd insulted their baby. I'd call it Stockholm Syndrome, except nobody is forcing them to use it.

- addicted 8y agoWhat are the alternatives? Mac OS means buying unaffordable or underpowered hardware. And being ok with living within the constraints allowed by Apple (on the hardware side). Linux is not a consumer option. Ubuntu, for all its flaws, was the first distro that could actually be considered consumer grade, and that’s why pretty much any mainstream PC maker offering a Linux option offered Ubuntu. But as you can tell by just glancing at the comments on the release for Ubuntu 18.10, even they have seemingly abandoned the desktop market in favor of servers and IOT, etc. And that’s before you get to Linux’s Applications problem. Windows is a fairly solid OS with a few remaining warts which MS stubbornly refuses to address. One of the issues was the years they spent trying to convert it into a Mobile first OS. That was such a waste of resources.
- throwaway4719 8y agoIT departments are often (not always) unfortunately full of intellectually weak people who have based their entire careers around knowing their way around Windows and not much else. Unfortunately it is taboo to acknowledge that people, and especially groups of people have varying degrees of intelligence. Just watch this comment being downvoted into oblivion, for instance.
