Your comment is ignorant. There is nothing wrong with a developer that uses Windows and anyone who thinks similarly is equally ignorant.

Right. I thought we were only supposed to hate Perl and PHP.

I can't keep up with the dogma...

Yes, tens of millions of developers are comfortable with the notion of developers using Windows.

This isn't a comment on the superiority of any OS, but on misrepresentation. I don't pretend to use a mac by adding _MACOSX folders either.
