Win8 was a disaster. Win10 is what 8 should have been. It's fast, stable and reliable.

I use Windows 10 at work and Mac at home and find my web development work transfers pretty well across platforms. VirtualBox/Vagrant keeps the environments pretty consistent and the tooling is mainly the same for the work I do (PHP/Laravel, Python, JS/VueJS, MySQL/SQLite). My primary IDE's are VS Code and WebStorm and I use Adobe Creative Cloud for design and asset creation. Git-Bash is a big help on Windows.

  Even better there's now the full Ubuntu subsystem on Windows 10. I've not really pushed much at the edges on it but it seems pretty complete.

    Yes - that was my assumption too, after reading how they did it. I've installed it, launch first command (tcpdump) to sniff traffic and got error message. Second command "ip", another error. Got back to Linux :)

Now, mostly, maybe. At launch it was a clusterfk. I use Win 10 on pretty much every device except my phone and my disposable 7" Fire tablet. But Microsoft still find ways to screw things up. I don't know if ICS was working pre-Anniversary update, but it certainly wasn't working reliably post-Anniversary, which screwed me right over. It'd work fine when you set it up, only to die and require disabling and re-enabling to work again. The Anniversary update broke the DMP client (not that I use it). It mangled the IPv6 DHCP client as well for a lot of people supposedly. And that's ignoring stuff like the awful search functionality, Windows Defender randomly breaking and effectively eating a CPU core, profiles breaking for no apparent reason, the randomly resetting/breaking non-default file associations, the regular bullcrap trying to push you to Edge, the broken gaming platform (seriously, how hard is it to accept money for the Solitaire collection upgrade?)... That's barely scratching the surface.
