Writing code on Windows works reasonably well if you stay within a pre-built environment (e.g. Visual Studio, Eclipse, R Studio, etc.) Stray out of it and you’ll be forced to painfully kludge together some bastardised version of Unix inside Windows.

By the way, Richard Wong’s favourite text editor—Sublime Text—is available on all three platforms.
Yep.
