we can decide ourselfs if we want mac, windows or ubuntu (no other distro allowed). Our code runs in docker containers and except for the IDE our tools are web-based for the most part anyway, so it doesn’t really matter which OS you use. though I heard there were quite a few issues with docker and Mac when the first M-chip Macs were used. it’s a software company in Germany with ~150 people.
i did just that a few minutes ago. closed my account and removed my one Plugin from the repo. if the statistics in wordpress.org are correct it was used by ~20k sites (though that number is hard to believe and seemed way too large for the usw case for a long time). It can still be found in github but will no longer get any updates since I haven’t used wordpress myself for quite some time and with the current shitstorm i don’t see a reason to invest any time in it.
