Thanks for your comment. It made me realise that OSes are like programming languages in regards to the tasks you can do with them easily. I can think of different things that are easier in Linux than in any other os. But would you try to create a website in C++?

I believe that in both case there is a placebo effect: if you have to program in a language you don't like, you'll be unmotivated, bitch about it frequently etc. If you program in a language you like, it doesn't really matter how well it is fitted to the job, because you'll take shortcomings as challenges and sort of want to prove it can be done productively. "The right tool for the right job" is only part of the story. Proficiency can go along way.
