Just to throw my 2 cents in I appreciate having the choice between 10 mediocre programs (3 of which are actually quite passable!) vs. being tied into the one all-inclusive solution with maybe a few knobs to twist and that's it. That's what drove me away from Windows.

There are probably more tools for Windows then any other platform.

I guess it depends on what you're looking for but I'm happy with what I've got. But I meant more basic things like window managers and desktop environments. Systems like Debian just allow you to build things the way you want using the components you want.
