I've been a programmer since 1979. I've used many, many OSes, languages, frameworks, systems, editors and IDEs.
My first job was as a systems program on CDC Cyber systems - 60bit words, a machine language that was unusual even then, and peripheral processors with 15 bit words. If you wrote carefully (on paper, then on punched card) you could rearrange your code to fit several instructions into one word. (The Cyber min config included 32,768 words of memory.
I still enjoy programming and now I write mostly in Ruby and javascript (ES6).
As is now the trend I am opinionated in some regards, but I don't stay up arguing in the OS wars, or the Editor wars or any other wars these days.
