But a developer isn't using Windows.
5 comments

Pretty much all game development still happens on Windows because that's where all (or at least most of) the gamedev tools and middleware libraries are.
It's also where 99% of businesses are, client-side. Not everything is Electron or the web.
Let's narrow that down and say they wouldn't voluntarily. But you obviously never heard of that adversarial entity named IT Department.
If only that were true. Linux really should be the developer's system but for many reasons it isn't for a lot of people.
That's a very naive view.
That's a pretty ignorant view, there's tons of developers using Windows. If you take a look at the SO survey (or similar ones), Windows has 47% in the "Professional use" category.
