I should've mentioned I've been practically only in IT companies. We never really had speciality software of any kind. In fact I could've done all of my work in Linux except for a couple of times where I had to develop in c# and .net wasn't ported to Linux yet.
But the things I've mentioned were what was holding the company back from giving me a Linux machine.
tbf i am the other extreme: i work in a material science lab so we work almost exclusively with specialized/custom software
Oh yeah. That's even worse because sometimes the machines outlive the computers and software and then you're stuck maintaining a Windows 95 machine because the software was developed for that OS and the company has since came up with new machines with new software and they don't support your machine anymore.
Depending on the company you work at you can actually still encounter testing equipment built during WW2 because "it still works"
