It probably depends on the kind of work you do. For most web development you need a browser, a development environment and a bunch of terminals. There's little difference between OSes there.

What kind of thing do you have trouble with under Linux?

Personally I find Windows very hard to use because there's no central way to update installed software on it.

Things like switching windows, working with multiple screens, having an overview what's open.

On the system side I love linux. Updating all software with one command is great, but isn't connected to the GUI. In fact, I find the Ubuntu software center so hard to use that I always revert back to the terminal to install/update software. And that's what I meant with my original post. I love the functionality that Linux offers, but for many day-to-day tasks having a GUI can make life easier. And that's where Linux always disappoints me.
