Command line navigation and support was awkward and painful unless you go through a complicated rigmarole of figuring out which combination of package managers and power shell scripts lets you run something that sort of approximates Linux.

Python and virtual environment a were bizarrely difficult to get working across my + my teammates computers.

Many useful packages weren’t on Windows, or if they were were awkward to install or just weren’t as fast.

Sure I can install WSL and just use that for everything, but then you get to a point where everything is kind of duplicated, and I’m doing everything in Linux anyways, so why not just use that and be done with it?

Windows never felt as fast as Linux, and using it just perpetually annoyed me.
