Only time I touch Windows is to fix a client's computer. I develop Windows apps on Mac and Linux so bye bye Windows lol.
Just curious who all abandoned Windows?

I'm still a Windows (10) user and don't plan on moving to a different OS anytime soon. I do use some Linux packages on a bootable USB sometimes for testing various things out of curiosity and also to fix my PC when it messes up...which it does quite a lot when I'm at the helm
I still primarily develop for the Windows/Phone platform and I'll admit I would like to check out developing for iOS but I just can't afford a MAC at the moment. Hopefully some time in the future
I don't think Windows is as bad as some people say/think it is, Windows 10 is (in my opinion) the best version of the OS yet and is getting better..slowly..but getting better.

You don't need a Mac to develop iOS apps anymore.
I got my first Mac for $100 on Craigslist. My current one was $300 but I upgraded the RAM, processor, replaced battery and charger. So total it was like a $500-$600 investment on my current Mac.
I may just sell it and get an iMac for more power and I can still run it remotely off my Chromebook.

I also use Windows 10. I don't mind using Ubuntu from time to time.
When I am moving around or are on the go I use my iPad air 2

Hey
I still use windows, Win10 Pro, but i only use it with Lightroom for correcting Raw Images.
My Laptop is running OpenSUSE and has been for the last 3 years and has probably been the most stable system I have ever used in all the years I have been into Computers
and is on all day, daily ( using it right now to post this ) and is running KODI, but mainly it's used for internet and emails..
In the Summer I bought 3 Mac Minis , 2 are running Snow Leopard and the other is running Mountain Lion, and these are used for Video editing, I also have an Android Tablet which is used for Storing Images taken with my Cameras.
Respect
Chris
