    I’ve been extremely happy with my windows surface book, which I got over a decade ago, still use regularly, and I can even still develop on it without a huge headache. I think visual studio is the best ide I’ve used. Vscode has replaced pretty much every other basic text editing tool I use (windows based, at least). I’m not a big fan of windows adding more and and tracking shit to the os, but I can’t remember the last time ive had a bsod, and even then I was fighting with hardware problems.

    They definitely have their crap and shit that drives me nuts, and like all the big companies they are trying to slurp up as much data as they can get, which is enough reason for many people to move away, but this idea that they “suck at everything” is just circle jerking.

    Windows Phone as a product wasn’t that bad. Even it had some good features which were way ahead of its time. They took some bad decisions and pulled the plug too early.

    Imma disagree since they’re part of that top 3 shuffle for most valuable companies on the planet BUT I still don’t like them lol I did try the windows phone though when those were a thing. It was solid but lacked app support so I caved before the 30 day period and returned it.
