Though, speaking as someone who started on Unix, moved to Windows, and is now starting to migrate back to Unix again - The plethora of tools can be as aggravating as it is liberating. Figuring out which of 50 different options will give the best development setup for $LANGUAGE strikes me as another chore I have to do before I can really sit down and start programming (i.e., the thing I actually want to be doing) more than anything else. I'm sure some of that is simply that I'm out of the game and needing to catch up a bit. But it seems like there's something real going on there too. For example, I've noticed that at meetups for Windows developers folks spend the majority of their idle time talking about code and software design, whereas at meetups for Unix developers folks seem to spend a much bigger chunk of time talking about various gadgets and their pros and cons and how to tame them and whatnot.
