For my use case (.net development, visual studio) windows used to be superior, more efficient choice. Now, after the release of .NET Core and Visual Studio Code i might re-evaluate it.

And yet it's apparently completely foreign to you that others may make that exact same choice regarding other software?

(And this is coming from a guy that used to program entirely on text editors, because I didn't like how bloaty Eclipse was... I'm not deaf to your plight. I'm just curious that the idea of others making trade offs is so foreign to you.)
