I'm interested in reasons of those, who have Linux knowledge. Those who don't probably just don't want to bother themselves with it and they always argue with "Why would I ever need bash when I a have my super GUI explorer" (Though, the last ones are also an interesting case, because my point is that you can't do ruby good if you don't know how to use linux tools at least as an average dumb user, and I wonder if I could be proved wrong).

My development machine runs Windows because I mainly work in Flash and occasionally Java/JSP and PHP, which all have perfectly good Windows support. Dual booting or maintaining a separate machine to develop in the more "Linuxy" languages would be an unnecessary inconvenience. On the other hand, I've been thinking for quite a while that I could just run a virtual Linux and get all the benefits that way. I just haven't quite got around to it. Any Windows users interested in detailing the pros/cons?
