What trend? The ignorant trend where a niche group of dev thinks Windows support should be second class, even though it ranks highest used by personal and professional developers year after year?

I use all 3 OSes and this superiority complex is tiresome

what do you base this ad hominem on?

If you try to convince your company to deploy servers on a windows environment instead of linux, you better have a really extraodinary reason, that's just a fact. If Windows is any good it's because of the software ran on it (games and related drivers?), despite the OS

Look at OP's original post. Why would one consider a change at all when everything that one needs is already in the OS? I mean... it could perhaps be a preference. Shocking right?

Anyhow, I wouldn't convince any company to use windows environment unless necessary as you mentioned. However not all software are web servers and there are plenty of reason, not extraordinaryly, requiring a windows environment.

Yeah but Bun is a web server. This thread is not about a tool for domain where Windows shines. Windows always sucked for web dev and for web deployment. Bun is an open source tool. The devs don't owe anything to Windows users. As a matter of fact, they are trying to bring it to Windows. It would probably already landed if it the support was as easy as for unix based system.

If you have circumstances requiring Win env and you want to do web stuff, run WSL. If you want to do web stuff and Win without WSL is your _prefererence_ don't expect the world to bend for you -> keep wallowing in your masochism.
