Windows is quite a nightmare for any time of compiled code in my opinion.

All of the Microsoft 'stuff' (anything in Visual Studio) works okay but once you start installing python or node modules, forget about it.

I remember the click finally happened when I spent an afternoon installing package after package to get a node module to compile on Windows. When I installed it on OS X, it just installed... I didn't have to do anything.

I installed Ubuntu that night and never went back (except to play games because WINE is just ehhh)
