I switched from a Macbook earlier this year. My workflow is based around vim. I started out using virtualbox, which was actually pretty great for me, and I still fall back to it for some projects. I don't develop games or anything, but for the simple task of making and running web & shell software, it works flawlessly. However, since a lot of my work is remote over ssh anyway, I've been really pleased with Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, and I use that more and more. I thought it sucked at first because of colors, then I realized I can run X server and xterm, and then my shared ssh config and key files work for me out of the box on windows without having to mess around with putty.
