Right? It's baffling.

I still don't understand why developers use Microsoft tools. At all.

About the only valid use case I can think of is creating Windows native apps and _maybe_ testing on IE/Edge.

Otherwise, why? Just why would you wade in the shit when there's a lovely clean pool right over there?

this pool isn't filled with shit, and the water over there isn't very clean, thats why.

because Microsoft Shop jobs are well paying, not terribly difficult, and allow people to work on personal projects without burnout.
