Most are using macOS (which can be considered more or less homogeneous since most mac users do update to recent versions at no cost).
Many people are using Linux too, both with UI and for servers. But since there are lots of Linux distributions, supporting a large portion of them is lots of work. I would say it is fair to say Ubuntu is the leading platform here. It feels as if there are less Windows users in our community, and the Windows world is more fragmented over different versions. People really underestimate how hard it is to support all these platforms with all their quirks. And of course, every individual user complains loudly when it is not working for them. > On 18 Jun 2018, at 16:16, horrido <horrido.hobb...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Lack of enough Windows users?
