> why are they using Windows at all?

In my case:

- I had 10+ years of experience in linux/unix development

- Career change to AAA game development which is predominantly Windows based

- Day to day do Unreal C++ developing in Windows with Windows toolchains

- Still use WSL (and thus bash) for everything else, including DevOps related work, cloud/container development work, and personal notetaking/productivity via emacs+org-mode.

So, some of us have reasons to co-exist in multiple OS's. I tend to write up scripts in Python if I can so that there's at least a chance that I can run them in both Windows + Unix environments.

I feel similarly - I first learned about the shell with Linux and all my career has been with Linux, but at home I use Windows. I am making an effort to be better at PowerShell but if I just want to do something quickly, I already know how to do it with bash and I just want to get on with my day.
