Perhaps it's just me; I have no preference at all. I can flip between Catalina and Windows 10 like a acrobat in the circus. It's as close as I will come to being an acrobat in any sense, I assure you.

However, I'm genuinely curious: which environment do you prefer as a developer?

The question truly occured to me when I was redesigning my portfolio. Using the excellent site Unsplash for a placeholder background began to show a pattern. A lot of the images that appeared for the result 'web development' contained Macbooks. It wasn't familiar to me - nor was it indicative of my development experience.

I've invested a lot into my Windows setup but that's because I also spend my time playing some big ol' games. Many of my peers, however, exclusively work on Macbooks. I oft wonder if it would be worth the investment one day.

So what made you choose one way or another? Is it the software that's available? The aesthetic and appearance? The hardware? The ease of use?

Or are you like me? Have you no preference at all? And why is that? Personally, I worked as an IT technician for 12 months; I was hands-on with the guts of both Apple devices and others. By the end of the year, I was comfortable with most Operating Systems.

I'm not necessarily looking for a definitive answer but, like mine, more anecdotal, personal experiences. So: why do you prefer your environment?
