As a programmer, is there any reason to use Windows at all?
Anything?

>90% of computer users have Windows
>no good dev tools for Windows outside of Windows
>WHY WOULD SOMEONE EVER USE WINDOWS FOR PROGRAMMING?!?!?!?
Bentley Hall
pretty much everyone uses Windows OP, don't let Jow Forums fool you into using that garbage called linux
Kayden Morales
> .net apps
A lot of companies in industry like their GUI apps to be in .net and not in gtk or qt

Why does every Windows laptop suck feces?
Jack Foster
If you want to make some money, making Windows ports is a good idea and ... you'll need Windows for that.
John Foster
And for good reason
Adam Butler
Because you shouldn't be looking for laptops for reliability, you should look at them for convenience.
Samuel Stewart
I just want a MacBook but not from apple
Caleb Green
So buy an used one, Applel won't get any of your monis.
Henry Lopez
I want to ____ shintaro
Daniel Reyes
There is no reason for anyone to use windows, ever.
Jose Ortiz
Based.
Josiah Roberts
I don't buy used. I just want something light I can code in.
Grayson Howard
nope. The only reason to use Windows for development is if you're developing only for Windows. Which is a bad move, because you'll have to rewrite your shit if you ever have to support other platforms. Best to write in Qt for guaranteed cross-platform compatibility.

.NET, especially C#. You might also prefer Visual Studio as your IDE for things like C++. SQL Server is nice, as well. That's pretty much it.
Benjamin Rogers
SQL Server is available on GNU/Linux now.
Jose Allen
.NET shit I guess
Gabriel Howard
