Interesting.

To me, Windows has eclipsed both MacOS and Linux as the best dev environment. It's caught up in shell and the whole ecosystem of tools completely blows away what exists on MacOS and Linux.

Windows is also a lot better than the other two in keyboard shortcut support.

Interesting. To me windows is a country mile behind linux as a dev environment.

I don't really understand what you mean about keyboard shortcuts though. I thought the windows ones are hard coded into the OS and can't be changed?

Everything in Windows has keyboard shortcuts, not so on Linux and MacOS (e.g. you can't open a random menu item with the keyboard).
Um yes you can? I mean i do this all the time like many times a day all the time... Alt key is your friend here
Not on MacOS.
MacOS is as unusable as Windows to me.

I think it depends on what you are used to though.

Windows is, and has always been, king. There's some halk-baked shit that doesn't behave nicely on Windows, but that's largely self-inflicted.
