Huh, 5 out of 15 interviewed developers referred to their desktop as "boring".

Yes, I don't even customize mine. I leave the OS, tools in default configurations. I do my work in the cloud. If my computer is hit by lightening, I toss it in the dumpster and get another one. Back to work within an hour.

My toaster is also boring, and my pipe wrench, and my floor jack. Just tools.

Surely that's right, a desktop should just keep out the way and let you work. The more boring the better?
