Most programmers I know prefer macOS above all other. Is it different where you’re from?

Yes, I run docker for a lot of workloads, and I can't drop the $3000+ they ask for a 32GB machine, where the same upgrade is like $100 for a regular Windows laptop.
Linux remains quite popular among software developers.
It's different for anyone working in a corporate environment, where no one cares what you prefer.
There are obviously more programmers on Linux and Windows than on Mac, no matter your bubble. Since zed is Mac only, necessarily most programmers won't use it
This is not obvious at all and in fact directly contradicts my anecdotal evidence in many "bubbles".

It's likely to be the case for the "bubble" of the Zed authors.
