I've literally never coded in Windows. Seems like a weird choice.

I'm a gamer, so Windows is my daily driver. I'm not going to install a Linux VM just to run PyCharm and VSCode.

Professionally, I'm at the whim of whatever environment my employer uses. I've used Linux (CentOS), Windows, and Macs. If I'm doing Python development, then it's pretty OS agnostic unless I'm using a Python module that compiles to a native binary, in which case Windows is certainly a nightmare.

I'm just saying there are editors worth using beyond PyCharm and VSCode, some of which don't use the tab key to indent selected text. Kids these days don't respect the old ways grumble grumble....
