The Adobe Creative Suite is available on Windows. I don't see that being a major impediment.

And developers keep insisting that all we use is Vim and a terminal, which you can do just as well with Linux Services for Windows.

And if you've ever used CC on Windows the usability difference is night and day.

CC aside, the designer community is moving towards independent applications. All of which initially launch on macOS, and in the case of Sketch (a product I use all day every day) they stay on macOS.

Developing on windows is a nightmare too. I remember the days in college when I couldn't afford a mac and wanted to do some rails dev on my windows machine. That was motivation enough to use Ubuntu. That doesn't even cover the fact that XCode only works on macOS.

That last time I used Photoshop (a couple of versions ago perhaps) it was exactly the same on each platform and Adobe even used their own GUI widgets so the look and feel was consistent as well. Screenshots of CC 2016 that I can find lead me to believe that's still the case. What was the difference you found in terms of usability?

Did you hear the part about the Windows subsystem for Linux? Microsoft heard you. So now you get a really solid desktop experience plus your UNIX command line.
