Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. It recommends Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio 2019) as a prerequisite for .NET development, and does not mention or provide parity for Linux alternatives (such as VS Code or JetBrains Rider). The Storage Explorer section, while describing a cross-platform tool, does not clarify or show Linux/macOS installation or usage. There are no command-line examples (e.g., Azure CLI, PowerShell, Bash) for connecting to Azure Storage, nor are there any Linux-specific instructions or troubleshooting tips. The focus on Visual Studio and the lack of explicit Linux guidance may hinder Linux developers.
Recommendations:
- For .NET development, mention and provide instructions for cross-platform IDEs/editors such as Visual Studio Code or JetBrains Rider, and clarify that Visual Studio is only required if using Windows-specific features.
- In the Storage Explorer section, explicitly mention that the tool is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and provide download/installation links or steps for each OS.
- Add command-line examples using Azure CLI (az storage ...) for common tasks, and show usage in both Windows (CMD/PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (Bash) environments.
- Include troubleshooting notes or tips for Linux/macOS users, such as environment variable setup, file permissions, or dependency installation.
- Review all screenshots and instructions to ensure they are not Windows-specific, or provide equivalent visuals for other platforms.
