You install git and you get git bash that works great in the Windows terminal. That's something you do once. I use the terminal daily, not an issue at all.

Cool, and then there's NEVER any problems with different paths? With back and forward slashes? With the limit on path length? With missing permissions on the file system requiring weird workarounds?

Most importantly, your server is likely not Windows, yet you test on Windows, and that's never ever been a serious source of issues?

And don't say WSL. That's like saying the fix to using Windows is to use Linux, but fiddlier. Not to mention you still get issues with the mounted file system.

Nope. The language we use handles that for us. I don't think path length has been an issue for a while now?

We use serverless functions using Linux and it's never an issue. My previous employer, we had Windows servers and Linux based containers, and that wasn't an issue either.

I never had to do anything on my Mac it just works every time

Also some of the libraries I use aren't even supported on windows. I know a bunch of node libraries that I had to change in project repos to accommodate engineers using windows specifically. Windows is shit

Also it's riddled with ads

Enterprise Windows does not get all those ads. I haven't seen a single ad on any of my Windows machines.

Apple doesn't sell a Mac version with ads and a version without so that seems better to me too. Why do I have to pay extra for that?

Because you’re already paying more for the hardware with a Mac.
