Ask HN: How is Windows for developers nowadays?

I don't want any of the new Macbooks, but every time I have tried to run Linux on a laptop I've had nothing but pain. Therefore I'm tempted to use Windows as my primary OS.

I alternate between doing POSIX and Windows development, so I'm tempted to run Windows 10, with one of "Bash on Windows", cygwin, or a Linux VM.

Is anyone using Windows as their daily machine, while doing POSIX coding? How does it work out?
