For .NET, maybe. Not for something like Ruby This is ignoring PHP (one of the biggest web dev languages) and Python which do just as well on both. Also I have never seen the need to develop on the same platform as your server (if your using a local server, well, then that makes sense - but it's not the best workflow and, in addition, that is not a limitation of the development but of the server requirements :)) I won't disagree Ruby is better on Linux though.

If you're the sole developer, it makes a lot of sense to run a local server for development purposes. It's cheaper, more convenient and really helpful if you're stuck somewhere with a poor Internet connection.
