Here's a summary.

The author uses Windows instead of Linux because:

1. Linux isn't as popular as Windows

2. He can't use Visual Studio on Linux

Compelling argument!

For him those may well be compelling reasons. Conversely, I'm not sure if it makes sense to get people to switch OS platforms when they are actually happy with what they are using now. It certainly doesn't hurt to stay informed about the capabilities of software you're not using currently (in some areas it should probably be mandatory), but switching in the absence of good personally-applicable advantages is simply not a reasonable cause of action for most people.
