Docker support is great on Windows! I'd definitely advise you to use Docker with Docker Compose. Docker Compose makes Docker function like Vagrant.

A novice can easily install Docker for Mac/Windows, it includes Docker Compose and even has a GUI that will guide users in setting up a hyperviser.

There's actually an extension which can do this: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=steoates....
Try Visual Studio Code. It's an Electron app, just like Atom, but it's a LOT faster. It's open open source too (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode).
Um, your points about Bower/NPM and Webpack are not really correct.

NPM is the de facto package manager for JavaScript these days. Some points on why NPM is a better choice: https://gofore.com/ohjelmistokehitys/stop-using-bower/.

So on to Webpack, Webpack is not only for minifying JS. Webpack can actually be seen as a replacement for Gulp/Grunt. With the use of plugins you can compile Sass or TypeScript or use Babel to transpile your ES6/7 code to ES5 etc..

Agreed! I just wish tables were supported. I actually have to export it to a .docx and then add the tables :/. I asked them a while back and they said they weren't planning on supporting tables any time soon.
You can get Windows 10 Enterprise via MSDN (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/hh4...). You can get MSDN for free if you have a startup with less than $1M of revenue via BizSpark.

Pluralsight has lots of courses on Angular. I can definitely recommend them. John Papa has a few courses on there as well.

I can recommend using Imgur for storing screenshots. For Windows you can use Greenshot (http://sourceforge.net/projects/greenshot/) and for OS X you can use Mac2Imgur (https://github.com/mileswd/mac2imgur).

Uploading images is instant, the image quality is higher, embedding is actually possible, you don't need to have an account and thumbnails are automatically generated.

That's really cool! I didn't expect that you could use Xamarin for such games. Are you by any chance planning a Windows/Windows Phone release?
