"But the big bolded sentence that grabs your eye first seems to be implying that there's something wrong with an organization that uses Windows."

So what if he did? By the time you've reached that point you really ought to have figured out the entire post is a subjective opinion.

Here, I'll say it too: I don't want to work for an organization that primarily runs Windows by default. I don't have to justify it rigorously scientifically. Nor am I saying there are no skilled Windows developers in the world. In fact my company has quite a few in it ("some of my best friends are Windows developers", ahem). Nevertheless, I do not want to work for a primarily Windows company. I do not like Windows software culture.

That's when you say "I'm not a Windows guy" and leave it at that.


He can say what he wants, is the thing. When you reply to a "why didn't you take the job with us?" feedback request, you can be as succinct/diplomatic as you think is appropriate. The OP did the same.
