I cannot think of a single person at any of the places I’ve worked in the last 7 years, small or large, that has used Windows with a single exception. That exception was me because I needed to use Visual Studio, and I was miserable the whole time. Now that I’ve swapped to a MBP you couldn’t give me enough of a raise to get me to go back. Pretty much everyone I know in DevOps, SRE, IT, and development avoids interacting with Windows unless it is physically impossible. I don’t think I am an exception either. My entire college education was done on Macs (not I chose to use a Mac; every computer in the comp sci building was a Mac). Everyone used Macs while I was interning at Good Year. Everyone used Macs when I was doing ML research in academia. All of my friends who have stayed in the industry use Macs regardless of what role have used Macs. Honestly, it would be surprising to me to hear someone didn’t use a Mac, unless they got a laptop and installed a flavor of Linux as the main OS.
