At this second, I'd have to say that Microsoft is incredibly appealing to me.
Why? Microsoft has somehow turned its image around after being loathed by developers and users alike forever. None of it was a fluke either. They became a far more developer friendly, open-source friendly company, and they've also done a ton of things no one would have believed 10-15 years ago.
Linux on Windows? A browser based on Chromium? OSS collaboration and support? Providing the best damn code editor on Earth for the price of 'on the house'? These are all insane when you consider Microsoft of the past, and these are just a few things they've done to win back developers. They're doing the same thing in the Xbox division and Azure.
They're heading in a positive direction while it seems like everyone else is going to the dark side. I hope the trend continues because I'm really enjoying seeing Microsoft using their resources for this sort of thing. Not to mention, they're making cool shit like xCloud and Hololens.
It just seems like a really great place to be currently.
