You may be amazed at how much "really have to" covers for a lot of people. There are not nix-based versions for much of the software that people actually use (unless you stretch things far enough to include OS X in the "well, that's nix" category, ignoring the specific requirement to run OS X). The world isn't all about futzing with code and using browsers.

- nsmartt 13y agoI've used GNU/Linux for around 3 years. The only way I could even consider using Windows again would be with cygwin. The programs I use on a daily basis don't have easily available counterparts for Windows. It very much goes both ways.
- fit2rule 13y agoI also haven't used Windows as my main OS in over a decade. I only ever use it when I absolutely have to - and these days, the list of reasons is dwindling and diminishing at a great pace.
