Planning on Doing The Switch to the Microsoft Surface Lineup

"Ewww" might be overstating a bit -- Windows has improved dramatically over recent years, if you haven't spent time with it lately (though I really can't stand how Windows handles type on screen, which is sort of a deal-breaker for me). But the point stands. Of the web dev tools I use and can't live without, most are Mac-exclusive:
- Sketch + Invision Craft
- Transmit
- Affinity Designer (Windows version imminent)
- Pixelmator
- Sequel Pro
- Dash
- CodeKit
- Terminal / UNIX
- Ulysses (not web dev, but still)
- Ember
- Tower
- Screenflow
- Keynote
- IconJar
- ImageOptim
- Fusion/Parallels to virtualize Windows
Coda / Espresso I don't use, but admire; Sublime Text is cross platform, as is Atom & Brackets. But if I couldn't use the apps on that list, I'd do something else besides make web sites.

  theres this really good add on for win7 (don't know if it works for win 10) that renders type like Mac OS, really recommend it for designers on win 7 https://code.google.com/p/mactype/
