Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias, primarily by listing Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio) first in several places, especially for C#. Visual Studio is a Windows-only IDE, and its mention precedes cross-platform or Linux-friendly tools like Visual Studio Code or command-line options. There are no explicit Linux-specific examples or tools highlighted, and the documentation does not provide parity in mentioning Linux-native workflows or editors. However, the use of Azure Functions Core Tools and Visual Studio Code (both cross-platform) is present, and PowerShell is only referenced in the context of the PowerShell language, not as a system shell.
Recommendations:
- When listing development tools or quickstart options, avoid always listing Visual Studio (Windows-only) first. Instead, either list cross-platform tools first (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Azure Functions Core Tools) or clarify platform compatibility.
- Explicitly mention that Visual Studio Code and Azure Functions Core Tools are fully supported on Linux and macOS, and provide links or notes for Linux users.
- Where 'command prompt' is mentioned, clarify that this refers to any terminal (e.g., Bash, zsh, PowerShell, Command Prompt) and provide Linux/macOS-specific terminal instructions or examples where appropriate.
- Consider including a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, highlighting any differences or additional steps required for those platforms.
- If possible, add examples or references to popular Linux editors (e.g., Vim, Emacs) or workflows, or at least acknowledge their use.
