Because you're implying they're not professionals.
Requiring specific hardware / software doesn't make one more professional.
The entirety of Java developers are using cross platform tools. Are Java developers not professionals?
More to the point, all the major IDEs are Java based and you could run them on Linux too.

"However" means "on the other hand" and it looks like you emphasise professionals. > If you feel that way, that's more projection than anything else. Could have also been a Freudian slip from you.
- qayxc 6y agoBy "professional" I meant self-employed people who make a living from working with their computer. This should be clear form the context, but alas that's among the things that go by many people these days. You chose to ignore this meaning of the word and decided to be offended instead. Fair enough, but not my problem.
