That's why I use Windows. It's got better file and window management than Mac, more software, more hardware and more hooks to let me do what I want.
Not only that - it's way, way easier to setup my dev tools for things like Node.js, Python and Golang... I just run a couple of graphical installers and I'm done. On my Macs, I have to look up the secret incantations every time and do all sorts of configuration to make the Macintosh OS even usable.
I'm not sure where your downloading your software, as there is (and has been for at least the last 4 years) a graphical installer on the downloads page for osx:
Maybe I just haven't paid enough attention when doing this, but nearly every repository of every package for node has the default instructions for *nix command line. One of my most used packages is `n`, and the first line after the description is
"Unfortunately n is not supported on Windows yet"
It's main alternative, `nvm` also has:
"Note: nvm does not support Windows"
and suggests an alternative specifically named `nvm-windows`. When you have to specify the operating system in the name, it's typically the "off-brand".
> I bet you don’t use the graphical installer on your Mac though do you?
Your mind reading skills are terrible. I'm not sure who or what gave you that impression.
EDIT:
Again, from the node site, clicking on install with package manager, both windows and osx lead off with "simply download the installer" before listing alternatives.
I don't take issue with someone liking windows. But this reads like it was written by someone technically challenged - which is probably why you've been down voted
My Macs have all crashed more than my beautiful and stable self-built Windows boxes and just about every time I get in front of one of my Macs, I have to restart it for updates.
I’m pretty meh about telemetry. At the basic level where I have it set it just sends them some information about my drivers. Big whoop.
Speaking of clicking though, I can actually operate the entire Windows OS with just the keyboard. You could try to do the same thing on a Mac but it doesn’t really work very well. For instance, open a window from one of your menu bar utilities and then switch away from it with the keyboard. Try switching back. With Apples window management you can’t do it unless you replace it with something better.
