Every engineer at my job uses a mac. Same for my friends job.
In fact, the only people who use windows are finance people, HR, etc
I forgot this thread was about Windows, lol. Most of the software engineers I know use GNU/Linux.
all of our engineering teams use macs except one dude who carries his early 2000s windows4life gamer energy with him wherever he goes. as it turns out if you aren't specifically like doing cuda or dx stuff having unix and being able to compile quickly, emulate or translate every deployment target architecture, great ppw ... lends a lot of credit towards many domains of software engineering. it feels like it collapsed multiple devices into one. i just spin up a windows environment if i need to support some janky legacy windows only thing.
... I guess I know a couple of software engineers that use Windows.
In my experience as the head of data science in a corporation, everybody uses Windows on their local machines and Linux remotely.
Yes it's always entertaining when people assume that their specific computing culture bubbles are universal.
