With Windows 7 End of Extended Support being just under 3 years away (Jan 2020), is the time right for someone like Inductive Automation/Beckhoff/Codesys to create a cross platform PLC Programming Tool?
I know all the young programmers use linux these days, and the forced updates of Windows 10 means that you may have difficulty supporting old hardware if a windows 10 update breaks your programming environment.
Or have I missed the boat and is there already a major player with a linux supported programming environment?
Or have we all missed the boat, and need to embrace IoT/IEC 61499 programming paradigms?
