Looking again at the Stack Overflow Developer Survey Results. It is possible to calculate a trend for “Developed for Platform” category. ‘win’ for Windows Desktop or server depending on year.

| Year | other|  win |
|------|------|------|
| 2013 | 38.6 | 61.4 |
| 2014 | 41.2 | 58.8 |
| 2015 | 42.0 | 58.0 |
| 2016 | 47.9 | 52.1 |
| 2017 | 59.0 | 41.0 |
| 2018 | 64.8 | 35.2 |

In a five years almost half of the share is gone.

The bash on windows improvement allows more developers to use Windows while developing for other platforms. At the same time more Microsoft things are being ported to linux.

NTFS is still the biggest gripe. Along with very slow search and system updates.
