Somewhat-shrug. For me, Linux (or even OS X) is better because in general building existing packages is easier than on Windows. A lot of tooling is built on Unix-y platforms: to use Windows you have to play a lot more games. To be fair, Windows has vastly improved its support for many of the most common tools, and cross-platform development has advanced enough that it's not the major issue it once was.
