Right, apparently only a quarter of all developers uses them (https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#technology-_-...).


I'm surprised that Windows has ~50%.

I'm not a developer myself, but When I engaging with them on various OSS projects I always feel Windows is being treated as a second class citizen in almost every aspect (smaller projects often has no test, tool chain setup, tutorial, or all of above for Windows, as a starter).


Including me. Will those same developers buy a machine that is completely locked down? I will not.


Sorry, I don't understand what you're referring to. Locked down in what way?
