I've been using linux since 2001, but I do hop around from OS to OS depending on what's mandated at my current place of employment.

If you just focus on the LXSS, windows 10 isn't bad[0]. It's still effectively beta, so there are things it can't do, like list running windows processes and kill them from the command line or launching a windows app[1].

Development is identical between my ubuntu machine and my windows machine. I use ack, vim and other command line tools as my IDE and I haven't noticed much difference between the systems. I do occasionally run into an issue with live code reloading systems (like middleman-livereload). It looks for a valid ip address to use instead of just using 127.0.0.1, but the networking subsystem hasn't been exposed to LXSS yet, so it errors out. webpack-livereload works fine though as does apache and mysql.

[0]: there are many, many other complaints I have about the OS. I use it right now because of the better driver support and video games.

[1]: I think they added that just recently, as per https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/interop?f=2...
