      I switched to Windows 18 months ago and continue to be happy. Only complaint is devs gratuitously ignoring windows support.

      It’s an expensive platform to build tools for that interop with unix. Path differentials alone eat up days for tiny bugs.

      Calling OSX "Unix" for this is a sleight of hand. It's a fork of BSD from the 90s. You're underestimating the shims you're standing on.

      You realise that OSX is the only mainstream certified UNIX in common use, right? It LITERALLY IS a UNIX.

      "certified Unix" is not what literally anyone targets.

      "Certified Unix" is like an MCSE certification for software.

      If people target Linux, SAY Linux. Do not contribute to the semantic mushiness which is already rife.

      I put unix in quotes ("for this" referring to interop). Was responding to someone who said "interop with Unix"

          People target nothing specific. They just add workarounds for platforms they feel morally willing to work with.

          Example: WSL is closer to Linux than OSX is. But people are morally unwilling to add WSL workarounds. Why?

          Can you give an examples of WSL workarounds required? I thought it'd be largely POSIX compliant, which is a reasonable target IMO

          WSL shouldn't be targeting POSIX per se - it should be targeting Linux. Workarounds for stuff that works on Linux proper are bugs in WSL.

          Except that people do workarounds en masse for POSIX inconsistencies in OSX. You can say "not my problem", or you can do what pepole ...

          do in OSX and slap a bandaid on it while the upstream bug gets addressed. At least WSL's "radar" is Github Issues.

          OSX doesn't have the explicit goal of targeting full compatibility with someone else though. WSL bugs == SmartOS LX Zone bugs == bugs.

          Luckily, the WSL team is super receptive to cases which prove different (as the LX team is), and get them fixed and released quickly.
