Cool it. These things are tools. Some are like cheap drills, but
others are like DeWalts. A good craftsman will have many of them, 
of different types and quality grades.

Ditto for the IT experts. Linux, in half a dozen distros, at least
3 BSDs, a windows or two, perhaps QNX and MacOS, and the iOS
and android ones. In about this proportion.

Windows is a sideshow in all the projects I have been involved in, 
but admittedly I am working in a rather narrow niche.
