I've spent most of my career using a mac to deploy software to Linux.
3 years ago, I started working at Microsoft. I have to use a lot of tools that only work in Windows. A lot of Microsoft stuff is becoming more and more cross-platform, and there are probably a lot of teams that could get away with using Linux or even Mac as a daily driver. So my far on the teams I've worked on this hasn't been practical though.
I find the Windows O.S. to be just fine for development, and tools like Visual Studio are very, very good. I've grown to like Windows Terminal nearly as much as Iterm2.
Finding a Windows laptop that is good as Macbook is a real challenge though. I've been considering buying my own Dell XPS 17" 12th gen intel w/4k screen.
My Macbook air M1 is such a good machine, I wish I could do my work on it.

Linux guy here wondering if that means Windows terminal is much better than it used to be or that Iterm2 is much worse than the average Apple product...
Windows Terminal is a new-ish application. It does command line, powershell, and the console to your WSL instance automatically in different tabs. It's pretty slick!
