One can be using something that isn’t Linux for development and still be familiar with it. Perhaps they did in the past? Perhaps working in the same team as someone exposes them to the alleged headaches?

This is a thread on Hacker News, not an academic article. You aren’t owed a massive amount of “justification” for these “claims”.

I was using Mac for development due to company policy (compliance). It is by far the worst development experience I have ever had. Brew is terrible. Updates are agonizing. The user interface is awful. Containers are a shitshow.

Yeah, I used a Mac for years and felt the same way. Linux has been the only half-reasonable OS for development for me.
