I still reach for Windows, even though it's a dogshit OS. I would rather use WSL to write and deploy a single app, as opposed to doing my work in a Linux VM or (god forbid) writing and debugging multiple versions just to support my development runtime. If I'm going to use an ad-encumbered commercial service-slop OS, I might as well pick the one that doesn't actively block my work.
