I'd use whatever the rest of the team is using. I'm currently one of a few macOS devs in a primarily windows shop because I got involved in supporting a mobile app. Whenever I have to work on our none-mobile codebases I run into all sorts of issues that the other devs never have, and it definitely impacts my efficiency. I also end up doing a lot of scripting, and now those scripts are either slower to write(if I consciously make them OS-agnostic) or unshareable.

> I'd use whatever the rest of the team is using. That may not be an optimal strategy either. In my last job most devs were on Windows even though our software was deployed on Linux servers. I had Linux on my desktop and I had much less problems than my colleagues due to them effectively having to maintain 2 OSes instead of one. I was also a go-to guy for anything Bash or server related, because for me it was just everyday stuff, but the Windows guys didn't have those Linux muscles developed.
