"I am a student and majorly do C programming for microcontrollers. All that works good, sometimes better [looking at you TI MSP430 launchpad debugger] on windows. So the only purpose of having a linux installation is that I am habituated in last 5 years."

You may need to return to Linux if you have to deal with running on a microcontroller or require a build environment that utilizes it.

For now, I don't really have to. I work on AVR based chips (mostly the ATmega and ATTiny) serves me well and I think I can get a job with this. But things change and I can adapt. I can still use linux if I want but I don't really want to until damn nVidia releases proper drivers.

Wait till you start dealing with ARM based systems. You'll get a choice of expensive commercial tools or scavenger hunts to find the right libraries to work with gcc... :)
