> The only reason for a well paid developer to prefer linux that you don't need any of the extra stuff (a decent desktop experience, [...list of several more "linux sucks" opinions])

I think you'll find many Linux devs who have previously used or considered Windows have their own list of "windows sucks" reasons.

(By "Well paid", are you referring to people who are willing to spend money on big ticket desktop sw, or people who are in it for the money and don't have the curiosity or interest about how the system works? I think for most it's not about not being able to afford the SW.)



I simply meant that price can be another valid reason to prefer linux on the desktop, but not one that applies to most of the HN readership.
