Standardizing development on a very specific environment is not unreasonable and is actually fairly common. If you know what sort of environment your software will be running in, then it makes sense to capitalize on that and avoid wasting effort - getting your dev system running in a zillion different environments, with ever-so-infuriatingly-slightly different versions of make/bash/whatever will chew up a ton of dev and testing time for no real benefit.
