The Microsoft software at work is a total joke. At least I can find exactly the user interface style I like, which peaked in the 1990's and will be available forever.
I've been using OpenOffice from Apache for decades and have converted many friends (my entire roleplaying group, for starters) to it. I used to be an Apache committer.
My last paying job was a Windows shop. Form filling (it was in Germany - lots of form filling) had do be done on that for the institute. Beyond that I would work on my Macbook, Update my R package to a repository, then refresh it on Windows and run the tests. I don't know what I would have done if the tests had failed on Windows, but they never did, so I never found out.
I mean, I would have figured out the problem, but RStudio has a nice cross-platform IDE experience and robust package management, and I don't do anything very advanced, so there was never a problem.
