This incidentally articulates what I've been telling team members on Windows for a while:
Linux is just a lot more convenient, Microsoft feels like a second class citizen in most programming ecosystems these days.
(Windows development itself excluded of course)
Even when it comes to Win desktop development, Microsoft is fast losing ground to initiatives like Electron [0], especially when it comes to new consumer software. If the trend continues, MS frameworks and libraries will mostly be used by legacy enterprise software (and maybe Photoshop...). Can't say that I'm surprised considering how fractured Microsoft ecosystem of libraries, frameworks, and platforms for development has become.
They also have a major problem with not listening to their very loyal desktop developers, who have to face a reality where Visual Basic is rendered obsoletely, where .net core is a thing - ops no it's not, etc.
