Yes, but I suspect a major part of that is the availability of tools and configuration I have on a Mac (for my everyday job and personal projects) are just too time consuming now for me to replicate elsewhere.

For example, I wanted to use Middleman on a project and though I could develop it on Windows. I can use SourceTree for Git and my choice of IDE, but installing Ruby on Windows is painful and the command prompt is horrible. At least the Creative Cloud license can be used on both, so that was non-issue.

Next I tried Ubuntu. I could install Ruby without an issue, the IDE was still supported... but there isn't anything close to a useful Git GUI like Tower or SourceTree. Creative Cloud was a miss to.

Its an interesting lesson. Developers who create good applications lock you into an ecosystem.
