I don't think it's "weirdly shitty and alien" at all. That is just a widespread perception that people have because they think having a UNIX-like system on their local machine somehow influences their ability to develop remotely on a UNIX-like machine. Once you've tried it, it doesn't feel strange at all.
- gradstudent 14y agononsense. Cygwin is a dog. It looks horrid, it often breaks the unix abstraction with fugly windows paths and.idioms and weird issues when using libraries that have native ports. Yuck
- w1ntermute 14y agoStrawman. Did I ever mention Cygwin? If you really are a grad student, I hope you improve your reading comprehension, because I clearly stated in my first post that you don't have to run anything locally in order to do web development with Windows.
- gradstudent 14y agoi wasn't responding to your first post. I was responding to your subsequent comment that says a local unix-like nvironment on windows is not shitty and alien. Cygwin is exactly such an environment and the best of its ilk. I claim Cygwin is shitty and alien.
