When it says "I primarily develop Go on...Linux|Mac|Windows|Etc", is this question referring to the platform the project is intended to run on? Or is it the platform people are actually using their IDE in?

I'm just surprised that Linux only is so high and Windows so low if its referring to the "workstation".

I think it's pretty obvious, no? "develop Go on" seems pretty self explanatory.

If it was I wouldn't have asked.

What other meaning do you think "develop Go on" could have?

I'm surprised anyone beyond C# and game programmers still code on Windows. It must be constant agony.

Its not that I want to, its what is given to me. I've personally not seen any companies providing Linux workstations which was my surprise.

It isn't that bad to me anyway, developing in containers with vscode or WSL works just fine 99% of the time for what I do. But that adds confusion to the question for me.
