MacOS might soon surpass Windows in Software Development: the figures prove it!
At the end of August 2023, I wrote an article about the importance of the operating system for a software engineer. I tried to analyse our three main options: Windows, Linux and MacOS. You can read that article here (assuming you want some additional context):
However, now that we have just entered 2024, I couldn’t resist and checked how crucial the operating system is for software engineers based on active development time tracking through the WakaTime plugins that any software engineer can add to their editors and IDEs.
Although I’m still sticking to my concept of “Windows is for entertainment, Linux is for servers, and MacOS is for work”, it was a welcome surprise to see how MacOS can overtake Windows in its dominant position in the software engineering world.
