I don't disagree with the overall point. I do want to say one thing though. > As a professional programmer, I no longer consider Windows a viable option for serious work. Please get over yourself. There's plenty of actually serious programming work being done on Windows. > If you’re a programmer who’s used to Windows and you think I’m being overly harsh, I encourage you to spend a couple weeks in any other operating system. For the record, I've spent decades in many other operating systems. It's interesting because the OS used to matter. Now 90% of the apps we use are either on the web or are web apps repackaged as desktop apps. Of course I can still tell when I switch between OSes, but it makes much, much, much less of a difference than it used to.
