Software developers get religious about their OS like they do their choice of a text editor. :)

young developers and really senior do that. Young are just naive, really senior are no longer interested in new technologies. You have to aim for the middle, when the developer is interested to learn. Thats where you find agnostic developers

Funny I consider myself agnostic but I'm usually seen as a "young developer" despite having been doing programming as a hobby for at least 10 years now. I guess professional experience is worth more to be fair.

I'm in the camp that uses Windows, Linux and Mac. Whatever laptop is nearest to me and gets whatever task done the quickest is the one I'll use, and these days it's my Surface Book 2 which has replaced even my iPad from being my media consumption device.

Plus, I also imagine it's a self selecting process as only those with vitriol are the ones bothering to comment, while most people simply view it for what it is.
