I have always (except once when I worked at a web hosting company with Debian desktops for a short while) had a work-mandated Windows workstation, but my computing life is very *nix centric, so I always install VirtualBox + Vagrant and build a VM to get work done in. I rebuild it once a week to motivate me to do changes via the config. Also, I keep my .emacs in a publicly accessible S3 bucket. The .emacs on each machine is just a stub to pull it down and evaluate it on startup.
