As a classical, old-school *nix-style developer, I can confidently say things have changed in Windows-land. Between WSL2, VS Code, scoop/winget, Windows Terminal, and dozens of small quality-of-life advancements, Windows has shockingly become a very comfortable, ergonomic development environment for lots of things that have nothing to do with .NET, Windows SDK, etc.

- apetresc 3y agoI was referring to the statement “I don’t know what the situation is like today as I haven’t touched Windows in years, but my opinion of Microsoft DX is very low.”
