You have to install extra crap to get the terminal to work like unix and I always had to fight with it to install things. Not worth the time. Maybe if you don't need a terminal though?

    You install git and you get git bash that works great in the Windows terminal. That's something you do once. I use the terminal daily, not an issue at all.

    I never had to do anything on my Mac it just works every time

    Also some of the libraries I use aren't even supported on windows. I know a bunch of node libraries that I had to change in project repos to accommodate engineers using windows specifically. Windows is shit

    Also it's riddled with ads

    Enterprise Windows does not get all those ads. I haven't seen a single ad on any of my Windows machines.

    This sounds more like IT babysitting.

    If IT cant trust software engineers to have full admin rights on a work computer, either the calibur of your co workers is so bad that no one should want to work there, or the IT department has such a god complex, no one should want to work there.
