I will switch to windows if they make it as easy to develop on as it is on unix. Maybe have a fully supported unix commandline emulator?

  That's the same reason I want to switch to developing for Windows. Except, I don't consider Unix the ideal standard anymore. For instance, PowerShell isn't a real unix shell, but it seems to be a type-safe version of one with first-class access to the platform's first-class API, which is exciting.

    One other cool technology, originally developed as an OSS project by MSFT employees is ScriptCS: http://scriptcs.net/ http://scriptcs.net/ It can complement or replace PowerShell, but what I really like about it is that it introduces a Python-style C# REPL.

  You're conflating "easy" with "familiar".

    No. Unix/Linux and the command line IS easier for development, once you get over the initial learning phase. So many great command line tools and functions, you can get a language, or an environment up and running in seconds instead of dozens of minutes or hours...

  80-s want their command line back.

    Cartoon UI wants it's clicky-clicky and inefficient workflow back.
