Nice handle, but in response to your comment, the 'nothing but OS X for dev' isn't completely necessary or true.
I run windows and linux as my dev machines (I favor Windows, but have a back-up linux for when I forget my computer at home).
I'm one of the few devs at our company who runs windows, though I'm amazed how many Phd students and researchers run Windows.
Often people try to 'stump' windows with terminal commands, but there aren't any we use on a regular basis which will break when you have cygwin installed.
What we do find is paths break of course, but, should you really be hard-coding paths into your apps?
For many people, myself included, OS X doesn't do it. I've never been a fan, find the hardware too expensive and I've had issues with longevity with the 3 macs I've owned over the years.
I have to confess though, I've been disappointed with Windows 10 of late, and may make the switch to linux in the coming months.
