    This is a great article, but one nitpick. It says that people may want to use Windows if they have to use VSCode, but VSCode works great on Linux. Maybe it meant to put Visual Studio there instead?

      VSCode is not open source. If people liked using closed source software, they could just use Windows anyway.

        The choice between Linux and Windows is not just about ideologically choosing open vs closed source software.

        If you don’t want to use closed source software, don’t use VS Code - but if you want to use Linux, and you want to use VS Code, those two choices are totally compatible and perfectly valid

          If one is educated enough to make those choices, then the guide does not need to take into account developers capable of picking IDEs this common. Moreover, I was picking the best IDEs, and VSCode is definitely not the best, but merely one that employed devs are forced to use by companies. Something like Sublime is far better.
