Do you think they collect addresses of repository owners?

This comparison doesn't make much sense. When a person chooses a language for their project it implies a long term commitment. And all the headaches that follows for years to come. It's unlike a screwdriver, which can be easily replaced in the matter of hours.

I like your points.

People all over the comments accusing me of nitpicking. I can agree with that. But I also feel like this happens because of what you call "a thousand paper cuts". It works, but feels surprisingly unpleasant.

Allowing us to run Unix command line in Windows is a great achievement for Windows team, props to them. But it isn't yet comparable to the real deal like Linux or OSX. The speed, the looks, the integration. I'm actually surprised that (subjectively) Linux UI with all that fragmentation looks a bit more consistent than one of Windows.

I hope Microsoft addresses all these problems, but guessing from previous experience it make take a while.

I'm sorry for that. As Streamable states: ads will be shown as soon as video becomes popular. But they didn't state exactly how popular. I couldn't find any other convenient method to embed small animations with fine quality and ability to pause them. Any recommendation is appreciated.

Contrary to release notes latest Gnome 3 in Ubuntu 20.04 is slower on my machine compared to the previous one in 19.10. That's why I switched to XFCE which is super snappy. Not i3 snappy, but really close. I've also experienced increased startup time with Snap, Flatpak and AppImages regardless of DE.
