I use Ubuntu for everything and I've worked on OS X and got along with it.

Unfortunately Windows is the only OS that doesn't have good integration with Unix-specific developer tools (like the GNU userland) or automation for installing said tools from a central and well maintained repository (coincidently the Debian repository is also the reason why I prefer Linux over OS X too). Cygwin is the only option and it's just awful.

Working on top of Windows makes me want to shoot myself. I don't understand how developers that deploy on other platforms (like the web) can stand Windows at all.
