So, no, developers on windows are not stumbling in the night. But also, no, your skills and familiarity are not transferable from OS X to Windows.

In contrast, I was a desktop (laptop) Linux user until a year or so ago, and found my skills almost entirely transferable to OS X.

YMMV, when I switched from Mac to Windows last year, my skills were pretty much transferable.

The biggest aid was finding a terminal emulator that worked like Mac's Terminal.

You're right, which is why I use all three platforms regularly.
