  WSL and Powertoys (specifically Fancyzones) has gotten me over the hump of transitioning to Windows at my desk. I still love my Macbook Pro, but I no longer feel the need to plug it into an external display. The only thing I consistently miss is iMessage.

    Which you can replace with matrix + an I message bridge if you are desperate enough.

  they acquired github azure is less good/playing catchup/copying the innovation of AWS WSL is a glorified Linux VM .NET is a zoo VS Code is Atom++ which is Electron Rust is good, cargo and rustc working on Windows has nothing to do with Microsoft

    Actually Microsoft has hired several Rust developers after Mozilla layoffs, so it has to do with them. Also C++/WinRT team nowadays seems to have lost interest on it, and is having lots of fun in Rust/WinRT instead.

  .NET is great, for those doing Azure workloads, those suffering the GUI civil wars, or the .NET Framework features/libraries that aren't available on .NET Core reboot, or the .NET Native missing features from Native AOT, not so much.

"I hate .NET/C#" With that, I doubt you are seriously here looking for answers... Windows 11 and Edge are aggressively pushing ads and are bad, but I have to point out that Windows 11 has a ton of improvements otherwise, so much that I joined a pilot of Windows 11 at work (most machines are still on Windows 11 currently).
