As a recovering Windows user now on Linux for a couple months now, I agree about feeling sad for Windows users. Occasionally I think "maybe Windows wasn't as bad as I thought", and then I hear or read something about it that makes me go, "Ohhhhh THAT'S why I got the hell away from that trash heap."
Also, personally I prefer VSCodium. I love Kate more frankly, but unfortunately for some reason it doesn't support the standard Unix "Ctrl-Shift-U" Unicode hex input method, and as someone who likes to write in their free time, that's a dealbreaker for me.

Same, but there’s a special type of rage for their dark patterns tricking or even directly coercing their own users. I have to help family members who don’t know better to fix their broken experience because windows update replaced their default browser, among many similar slimy things. It makes me upset they prey on the technically ”less able” in order to squeeze unsuspecting people for pennies. Their guidelines on malware would put their own software in either PUA (potentially unwanted applications) or malware, if they didn’t create exceptions for themselves.
