Windows? 🪟 🤷‍♂️

[nelsonic]

You will notice the conspicuous absence of Microsoft Windows in this dev-setup doc.
This is not to say that people who are confined to Windows cannot follow our tutorials,
or contribute to our projects and products.
It's simply that we know from experience that developing web based software is more challenging from Windows.
Again, not saying there aren't plenty of people using

Plenty of people use Windows for work:

And there are endless discussion threads online on the merits of different operating systems.

The reason we use Mac or Linux @dwyl is simple:
our target platform is iOS (iPhone for mobile-first apps)
and we deploy on Linux so knowing Linux/Unix is beneficial to DevOps

We don't actively test our tutorials or stack on Windows because none of us use it.
But if you are using Windows and want to add a section to the README.md of this repo,
please be our guest!
