First mistake you made is calling Android and iOS a "Computer" os (you effectively did it when you compared their and Microsoft's share.) Brb, I'm going to go and write code on my Android-based PC.
Android is good, it just has a lot of fragmentation, same as the rest of Linux.
And yes, I'm a Linux user. But due to the trolling you and others in some parts of the community do, I'm no longer running it on my main machine.
Now, your issues with windows 8? First you claim it to be unusable, what in the world could you not use it for..
Android. IS a computer OS... its not usually optimize for desktop usage... but yes, you can write and run code within android. There are some android PCs out there... some of them even plug into a TV from a tiny little USB thumb drive size thingy. Today's phones have more CPU, more GPU, higher resolution display than typical desktop PCs 10 years ago... yet somehow we were writing code, drawing art, editing video and writing letters to mom in the 80s on computers running at 8mhz with 512k ram and 16 colors.... yeah, I think an android tablet has it beat. Bluetooth a key/mouse and plug in an HDMI cable to a tv for easier work... people do these things.
The fragmentation remark is very stupid. Anyone with a brain knows that's a none issue. A program written for android 4 will run on any android 4 device... doesn't matter brand or if its a phone or tablet. What about the MS fragments? XP, vista , w7 , w8, wp8, wp7, winRT ... that is a mess.
If the trolls made you stop using Linux, then that is your problem. Linux itself may never be supreme... but it can be the OS people use to get things done.
Also the speed issue is a joke. Windows always feels faster when its a new install... until the stupid registry and other junk gets bloated and slows things done.
