I have 4 machines running Windows 10 from its release and never had to reinstall the OS. Everything is stable and I hardly reboot.

Most development tools have Windows versions: Node, NPM, Git, Docker. If I'd encounter one which doesn't run ob Windows, there's WSL.

I pretty much disliked Windows XP, Vista and preferred Linux, but since Windows 7,the OS got a lot better from my point of view.

I have the largest possible software library and the added possibility to run *NIX tools when needed.

I don't need to fiddle with Linux desktop or pay 3x the price for Apple branded hardawe which you can't even maintain or extend yourself. I can use cheap chargers, perriferals and I can connect almost any device to my desktops or laptops.

Agreed, VSCode is my favorite text editor, WSL2 looks to be awesome (I'm waiting for VMware to use it since VMware is required for my job), Github, WinUI looks awesome, etc.

Windows is slowly becoming a very developer friendly platform. Will it work out for Microsoft? Who knows.

I'm more excited for Microsoft than Apple at this point but I am looking forward to seeing iPadOS/macOS later this year.
