It’s not just art, it’s just about anything to do with professional productivity. Linux isn’t better for development in general; it’s better for development for Linux. -This is why you see so much propaganda about it being preferred by devs; because it’s not a simple ‘not it’s not!’. The other propagandas like Libre Office, GIMP, etc., are often debunked by professionals as not being adequate in Linux’s own communities.
Typically, this kind of anecdotal n00by nonsense accompanies newer, less heard of distros. There’s plenty of bitching and legit gripes about Mint filling forums nowadays.
