Don't be so quick to discount stereotypes. Look at them as a sort of Bayesian prior - updated by individual encounters, but often not completely off the mark.

But if his observations are so far of the mark you can be pretty sure his stereotypes are too.

By the way, visual studio and intelij idea look the same on all platforms

After 20+ years of "next year is the year of Linux on the desktop" (which is about Linux seriously challenging or even overtaking MS on desktop users, not just the "Linux works fine for me on my desktop" which was always the case for some outliers) and following Gnome and KDE closely, and efforts by Ubuntu etc and reactions, his observations sounds quite to the point.

Who cares about year of Linux?

I have never been as productive as I am now. No more fighting xcode or using outdated core tools.

Apparently tons of people -- at least did.

Well, if you don't need to use Swift/Obj-C or develop for Mac/iOS (which apparently you don't) then why use XCode at all in the first place?

I see it not as a Bayesian prior but as a form of compressed sensing.
