I actually like Windows as my dev machine and writing server software i would use less *nix-y dependencies to make most of my local development/debugging time and usually having mainly BSD as target but Linux working (with few dependencies coming from Windows both usually works once one is done since the diff to Windows is always bigger leading to fairly stable code).

Now however with WSL2/Docker enabling easier development I'm tempted to take taco-bell style shortcuts, it'll go quicker in many ways but also reduce portability to other platforms like FreeBSD (that while a favourite overall ends up behind in total if i start taking these shortcuts).

taco-bell?

Basically using built in tools in the classic "unix" way to do stuff rather than write code in a "lower" level language http://widgetsandshit.com/teddziuba/2010/10/taco-bell-progra...
