Of course it doesn't matter. Windows, macOS, and Linux are all good enough. More than ever, you pick the operating system and hardware to support the applications you want to run.

Well, okay.

The tools I use will work on all these operating systems, but I wouldn't consider windows or OSX 'good enough' for me.

I suspect most developers could get their stacks to work on everything from freebsd to windows (well, unless you're a .net dev) -- so that's not really the reason to pick one or the other?

I don't run linux becuase 'vim' works better than it does on opensolaris... right?

I'm guessing we don't really disagree on this.

You are right about vim. It works well everywhere, so that's not likely to be the application that dictates what the rest of your system is. If you use vim and play a lot of Call of Duty, then you are probably going to use Windows. If you use vim and absolutely depend on Final Cut Pro, you're going to be on a Mac.
