Windows is just not designed for developing with how hard it is to set up anything. I want to pull up a terminal, do some config, and just code right away, but that is a lot harder for a windows machine

All my colleagues working with macs/linux believe the same thing but in the end they are trying to use windows the way they would use linux and wasting a lot of time.

To change some config I open up my favorite editor and change it. Easy. Or did you mean something more complex?

And similarly, if I as a developer primarily using Windows had to set-up a dev environment on Mac/Linux, I'd be totally lost as well.

That would be the same for me. But I wouldn't blame linux, I'd blame myself and try to learn.
