> I haven't seen anyone at all running Node or Angular/React using a Windows environment

This is what we run in part of my company...

I don't see any issue with developing in NodeJS in Windows (except compiling native bindings and Visual Studio issues with long paths). Microsoft is incorporating more and more plugins in Visual Studio to help web developers. It is just a matter of time.

Their tooling is definitely pretty great, but the hard part is winning people back over if they somehow feel jaded. I think gaining loyalty once isn't as hard as trying to re-earn it. But people often love the underdog.

Windows an underdog? Please tell me another joke.

Owning the majority market share in general does not exclude it from being an underdog within a smaller subset of users. Now how that subset is defined is another issue altogether.

Obviously not but communities such the .NET one using React or Angular is underrepresented in HN.
