Does it make a difference as a developer oriented piece of software?

Yes. As a developer who really likes Windows - I don't touch UWP apps or anything that comes from the Windows Store unless I am forced to.
I do not support Apple-style lock-down on Windows.
As a matter of fact, I am fully prepared to leave Windows if Microsoft continues to push this effort. I used to enjoy building Windows desktop apps with WinForms and then WPF, but once Windows 8 came out I saw where Microsoft was headed and I decided to focus on Web development. Now I pay my bills with Angular, Node and Ionic/Cordova/PhoneGap.
