You have to remember that you're on HN and windows doesn't exist around here.

If you have the right tools. Windows is just fine for development.

Visual Studio is widely considered one of the best IDEs out there today.

Personally, I use Linux for my work on Linux, what IDE varies depending on my work. JetBrains, VSCode, neovim. But I've used other eco-systems.

I still miss Genera. That thing was amazing.

You jest, but as famously emphasized by Steve Ballmer [0], Microsoft was (is?) all about developers!
