In my company, we develop on windows, build on linux and run on solaris (JavaEE). Moreover (forget devops!) the deployment team are not the development team. Having an environment (JVM + web server + our code) that is the same across the various hardware and company's teams is really something that helps. So besides the AOT/JIT discussion, the value of the JVM in itself is really good for us.
