For development purposes I'll take a Ubuntu loaded Dell laptop over anything windows, and wouldn't even consider a MacBook.

It all depends what one understands by development.

My Ubuntu netbook is nice for travelling purposes, but for the kind of work I get paid for, it is Windows and occasionally macOS.

If I am developing for a Ubuntu server, I'd rather just use Ubuntu directly. Plus the user experience is just as good if not better than osx or windows, but that is a highly personal opinion. I've been using gnome and kde for two decades now. Windows just just has nothing to offer me, and Macs have always been fairly "meh" in my opinion since I had to deal with classic "hard crashes" and those ugly jelly beans
