If the choice was between Mac vs Windows I would probably go with Mac, as it’s Unix based.
In a previous job I had to use Windows. I think it’s tolerable at best. Thankfully WSL along with the new Windows terminal is pretty good these days. I don’t miss the days when MSYS was the only Linux-like option for windows.
Used to be stuck on Windows, before WSL made it in most corporate deployments. The only way I kept some level of sanity was by totally foregoing working on Windows itself, and I just worked off a VM.
Holy shit. When was WSL released?
