As far as I can tell, one still have to run an Xserver on Windows if you want to do graphics (set display to localhost:0) and so no acceleration, hoping that changes at some point.

That's true but almost all the draw of Linux for developers is the non-graphical tools. GUI software for Windows tends to be much better, especially for stuff that you'd need acceleration for.
