Saw your recent talk. great larger point. wouldn't the path on the smaller point of dev frustration be to use a custom os/env to simplify dev and then compile target windows? like Carmack did with nextstep. solve 80% of it just not working full time in windows. ps: osx is simpler

It is certainly possible to do things more cleanly on MacOS than on Windows. My point was that the "drag to Applications folder" is not a bare copy; it runs installers if present. (You can get away without them for now; you can do that on Windows too, it's just much harder,
and starts to become impossible depending on what you link with. MacOS is going down that same road, it was just cleaner for longer).

The basic installation for MacOS is pretty simple, and configuration files are stored reliably in the Preferences plists, or Application Support. However, .pkg installers are considerably more complex, and register kernel extensions and other stuff. Uninstalling those is painful
