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.
