This just underscores how completely uninformed you are.  I work with a
large amount of hardware vendors.  All of them now use gcc on windows
for firmware development.  These companies used UNIX/Linux in the past
until it became so easy to use gcc on windows.  It even integrates with
visual slick edit!!

One of my colleagues is a religious emacs user.  He uses it for
everything.  He dropped Linux on the floor in favor of windows because
now he can use word and excel to import/export stuff into emacs.

I can go on for a while.

I can insult you some more but I am not sure you'd get it.
