Weird thing to say, considering both Windows and Linux-based systems are way more developer-friendly.

(Windows due to VS and the rest of MS resources/docs/tools, Linux due to its package management systems natively supporting just about anything you could ever need for development. For macOS to compete, you need a plethora of best-effort or paid tools that don’t come from Apple).

Also a weird thing to say. VS is on Mac, and not everyone uses VS to develop. Mac also has brew, which is a great package manager that can replace apt and the like.

Sounds like you have a specific use case that requires you to use Windows and are projecting that on every other use case. There is a reason why Macs are used in a lot of development shops.

What's your iTerm2 replacement on Windows? I use Hyper right now but the clear command doesn't even work correctly.
Have you given Windows Terminal a try? It's in the store. https://github.com/microsoft/terminal
