Fanboyism for Windows or git? :o)
I'm not surprised in the least. I was just remarking to Walter the other
day that Unix has become the path of least resistance for doing
programming-at-large and in particular OSS kind of work, just the same
as Windows is for office computing and OSX and portable derivatives for
computer-based entertainment.
The confusing part is that roughly all OSs offer (at least nominally)
means for achieving most any given typical task, so comparing in terms
of "has/doesn't have" is not relevant. It's the many little differences
and nuances that add up to a long tail. So it's not surprising that
git/Windows has many issues, just the same it's not surprising that
people are having trouble playing media or using OpenOffice on Unixen.
