The point is, between "totally tyrannically rulled wall garden", and "nicely maintained arena of culture", is a big difference! I'm perfectly fine with Linux as a dev platform. Steam on Linux is an admission that in fact, you can use Linux to make great games. Maybe I have to sign my binaries before Valve gives them to 20 million users, but okay; I'm still going to be, locally, 100% developing on Linux, nevertheless.
