I have had nothing but trouble when it comes to programming web environments in Windows. In any language be it PHP, Ruby, etc. and so forth, there's too much "Oh, it acts differently in Windows."

Most of it is related to POSIX environments vs. Windows, but I digress...

PHP? Ruby? You were thinking Unix and using Windows; no wonder it didn't work. Windows probably works much better if you've never seen Unix and you stick to 100% MS tools. (In other words, blub.)

On the contrary, if you have only ever used Unix and some unixy language like PHP, you are still a blub programmer. Blub isn't the exclusive domain of Windows, even if it makes sticking with blub really easy.
