Oh come on, there are plenty of reasons, it's a case of whether they affect you enough personally. Telemetry, closed-source kernel/base system, Microsoft's history of nasty practice in the computing industry, E&E, having to pay money vs. free as in beer, outside of the VS ecosystem a generally poor development experience.

Well, the new microsoft is actually one of the biggest open source contributors.
I'm a UNIX developer (mainly Go), and I use a surface pro 4 with win 10 for development. Bash on Ubuntu on Windows already runs great, and I have the ability to sketch diagrams whenever I want to. Additionally I have docker running flawlessly and a system that just works 99.9% of the time. (as opposed to Linux where I have to hack my way through most of the things)

What software do you use to sketch diagrams? Pre-Surface I was switching between Visio and yEd. Now that I have a Surface I am using OneNote but have a feeling I could be using something better.
