Another programmer here. OSX software was terrible for development and the restrictions were high compared to windows until around Yosemite/2010. I would say that the first OSX you could really use for writing software was 10.5 (after MacOS 7.5 totally lost the technology war against Win95 in 1995).
Microsoft now lost after almost 10 years of a total confusing strategy of constant creation and abandoning of so many short living technologies for desktop development. Today they are stuck because they don’t wont do anything that could encourage people to continue using Windows 7 and the insane restrictions that sandboxed Universal Window Apps have.

Yet almost everything I read about Windows 8, RT, 10 encouraged me to stick with Win7…

My impression is: They want people to move over to Windows 10 and not stick with oder version.

I moved to Windows 10 just before the end of the free upgrade. Works like a charm and I wouldn’t go back to anything else.

Same here. I’ve found Windows 10 to be pretty stable—having used it since day one of its release—Windows 7 was fine also—the transition from 7 to 10 was seamless.
