f03n1x65038yDunno I've coded in all environments (windows, Mac and Linux) don't mind it too much, kinda only annoyed at the Mac mouse with one button.
-
@f03n1x I have been practicing to work without mouse and everything on console calls from so long. May be that's a reason.
-
f03n1x65038yYeah that's probably a thing, wouldn't try that on a Mac though it's not the greatest without a mouse, though I haven't personally gone full keyboard on the Mac at work, probably won't ever.
Windows has somewhat functionality when it comes to keyboard controls but haven't really gone full keyboard on that either. -
@f03n1x Try going sometime full keyboard in Linux/UNIX based systems. It's like flying on the top of the world or hacking the heaven.

f03n1x65038yWell aside from iOS and Android development which is on a Mac I do vr game development in unity so for the mean time it's probably not something I could do

f03n1x65038yFull time app developer but I want to be a game developer, that is if you were referring to me o.o

Root797678yLinux is absolutely more developer-friendly.
And truly, the Windows command prompt experience is awful compared to *nix.
In Windows, utilities are designed to be standalone. They do their jobs well, but often do not integrate well with other utilities. This design methodology permeates the Windows environment.
By contrast, most everything on *nix systems are designed with the same set of standards in mind, such as piping. This allows utilities to work well together, and makes things much more intuitive for the user.
As an example, you will almost never see a long chain of piped utilities on Windows; however, this is very common on Linux. -
juzles38588yYou are noticing the difference between the linux way and windows way.
You seem to like the keyboard and avoid using mouse, but windows users like to point and click instead of use commands and shortcuts.

I have been using Linux based system from so long but last week I was building outlook add-on using Visual studio. It was a nightmare to work on visual studio(Or any IDE in Windows) after working for a long time on Linux/UNIX based systems. So much of mouse clicks, worst console experience, etc. Windows is definitely not for developers.
