This appears to be the case, yes. The issue on Windows 7 (and earlier — and maybe still on Windows 8?) is one that has caused countless problems for JVM based tooling that I’ve mentioned over the years: holding onto file locks too long and not allowing open files to be deleted. Still I want to argue that a lot of business runs on Windows, especially development environments. I would say it’s more likely that the sort of businesses that would run Clojure are also more likely to be using Mac or Linux for development work, but I certainly understand your point. I’ve only worked at a couple of companies over my entire 30+ year career that have used Windows for development, and one of those was a very conservative insurance-related business (the only company I’ve ever worked at where the product I was building actually had to run on a desktop computer). The other was Macromedia where the default laptop was Windows but you could opt for a Mac if you wanted (I started with a Toshiba but it quickly fell apart so I opted for a MacBook Pro to replace it) — we targeted *nix servers for everything my team built. One of my big complaints about Boot when it first appeared was that Windows was very much a second-class citizen for that project, but now — on Windows 10 at least — Boot is very smooth to install and use on Windows. For a long time, Leiningen also treated Windows as a bit of a second-class citizen (the packaged installer made it much better, since you no longer need a third-party curl/wget installed just to use the Leiningen .bat script).
