Windows is a superior programming environment

Linux is shit.  I program in Windows, for Windows, because I like money and actually knowing how to program.

    Linux is shit.  I program in Mac OS X, for Mac OS X, because I like money and actually knowing how to program.

    Linux is shit.  I program in LynxOS, for LynxOS, because I like money and actually knowing how to program.

0/10, but still will diverge into a thread vaguely related to RMS.
Meh.

Linux is shit.  I program in Linux, for Linux, because I like money and actually knowing how to program.

Linux is the shit.  I program in Linux, for Linux, because I like money and actually knowing how to program.

EPIC WIN OP

Windows is shit.  I program in Linux, for Linux, because I like programming without it feeling like I'm wearing gardening gloves.

OP is shit. I post on 4chan for anon, because I like acting like a douchebag and actually knowing how to troll.

Look at these responses.  This is a clear indication of how stupid the Linux userbase is.

What do you expect from people who think Lisp is a worthwhile language?

/prog/ trolls are usually much better than this, go back to /g/, please.

Although Microsoft makes a good set of programming , they are

(a) expensive, and
(b) incompatible with the GNU toolchain

Even if you can tolerate (a), addressing (b) is a hassle and requires installing some bastardized Unix-like environment like Cygwin, which brings a host of other troubles.

Also, batch file scripting under Windows is clumsy and has a more obscure syntax than bash/csh/etc. Also, there are only 2 decent process management tools for the OS (the Sysinternals stuff that Microsoft bought). I could go on, but I think IHBT enough already.

Many of MS's dev tools are free, including the compilers and SDKs,  express versions of the Visual Studio IDEs, and full Visual Studio for students.

A "GNU toolchain" is certainly not required for development.  One can develop Win32, .NET, Java, and Qt applications without installing Cygwin.  If gcc is required, it's available via mingw32.  Cygwin is only useful when running build scripts or developing applications that target the unixlike environment provided by Cygwin.

Linux is shit.  I program in Mac, for iOS, because I like money and actually knowing to pleasure men.

IHBC

>>13
Being under Windows, who gives a fuck about the GNU toolchain?

>>13
Give PowerShell a try. You won't want to go back to sh_^it scripting.

>>18
funny I found powershell to be yet another half-assed attempt by redmond to reinvent what sn/csh/bash et all have been doing for 30+ years
shit sucks

s/sn/sh/>>19

Half-assed? Strange choice of words, considering the complete clusterfuck that is Bourne shell syntax.

>>21
every shell syntax is a major clusterfuck. but it does the job. if you want to feel like an EXPERT PROGRAMMER you might as well use Perl, or even (yuck!) TCL.

>>22
Why yes I do in fact use Perl even though I'm only an INTERMEDIATE LEVEL PROGRAMMER, see that survey thread/
