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 No more fighting xcode or using outdated core tools.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?
