Why should this be at the editor level? There should be a linter that applies all these stylistic formatting changes to all files automatically. If the developer’s own editing tools or personal workflow have a chance to introduce non-standard styles to the codebase, you have a deeper problem.

I listed two examples of things right in my post.

The problem is, in Linux once you know how things work, most things are pretty easy. In Windows, even when you know how things work, if you want to change your system at all you’re fighting the OS the whole way.

For example, in Linux it’s trivial to set up my notifications to be in the bottom middle, except when I’m coding to have them in the top right, with various hotkeys to manage them. Or to have custom window layouts. Or to do anything, every part of the stack is easy to change. On Windows you just get a blob and it assumes everybody wants it to work the same way.

This is why piracy is a net positive for society.

No, it’s the lack of support in web APIs. Every api is based on width and height, viewport width, viewport height. Nothing allows you to find the angle of the display, rotate DOM elements to align, wrap based on diagonal boundaries etc.

If you are so bad at using a computer you can’t open a PDF, then you won’t notice the difference between windows and linux
