Summary
The documentation page demonstrates mild Windows bias. While it is largely cross-platform (focused on Visual Studio Code, which runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS), there are subtle signs of Windows-first orientation. For example, Azure PowerShell is mentioned alongside Azure CLI, and PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to CLI. Keyboard shortcuts are presented in Windows format (Ctrl+Shift+P), with only one instance mentioning Cmd for macOS. There are no explicit Linux-specific examples, tools, or troubleshooting steps, and the order of presenting CLI/PowerShell sometimes puts PowerShell first or at parity, which may subtly favor Windows users.
Recommendations
- Ensure all keyboard shortcuts are presented for both Windows/Linux and macOS (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+P and Cmd+Shift+P) in every instance.
- When listing command-line options, consistently present Azure CLI (cross-platform) before Azure PowerShell (Windows-centric), or clarify parity.
- Add explicit notes or examples for Linux users where relevant (e.g., file paths, shell commands, troubleshooting).
- Include screenshots from Linux and macOS environments alongside Windows, or clarify that the UI is identical across platforms.
- Mention that Visual Studio Code and the Bicep extension are fully supported on Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
