I would turn the question around. Is there any reason
to use Windows?

The only Windoze I ever used was the one in OS/2 — which was a lot
faster because it has a 32-bit graphics engine instead of MS's 16-bit
code.
When NT finally arrived, a pundit in a trade rag (Spencer Katt?)
quipped "Using Windows NT is like having a child help you."
I switched from OS/2 Warp 5 to Linux when IBM announced there would be
no further developments — and OS/2 fdisk couldn't handle disks bigger
than 4 GB.
