I use a five-year-old windows laptop. The only hardware upgrade is replacing the DVD drive with an SSD. I write example code for a living, using VS Code and emacs. I also have cygwin installed, as I have a plethora of bash scripts I've written over the years and am loathe to have to rewrite them in PowerShell.
Everything works. That and MS Office tools are so much smoother than the alternatives. I also have a Mac Pro I use infrequently, and an EC2 instance on AWS I use for things that take a while to build, so I don't slow my Windows laptop down.
Horses for courses. If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
