On Windows, setting up a dev environment can often be a pain in the ass, so if you're locked in for wtv reason I can see the pain point they're trying to alleviate.
Even then though, with things like chocolatey nuget[1] and cmdr [2], windows is heading towards parity.

- ripberge 12y agoVisual Studio Monaco is really the competitor to a product like this. It's a browser based version of Visual Studio that can be tied into other cloud services.
- jzelinskie 12y agocmdr looks cool, but how does it compare to using cygwin through mintty? Next time I reinstall Windows, I think I'll try out chocolatey to see if I can get the `brew cask` experience out of Windows.
