Sounds to me like you're too needy and stuck in your ways, no offense.. I love my ubuntu desktop as much as anything, but there are PLENTY of ways to make windows into winux. gitbash for one, you can install vim, nano, and pretty much all the linux command-line tools onto windows. It's not perfect, but doable...personally I don't like the performance of VM's, they're slow and buggy from time to time. As for php, it's not so bad, especially if you use Laravel as I found moving back and forth from rails to laravel and vice versa they're very comparable frameworks, Laravel mirrors rails in lots of ways better than most php frameworks, if you're doing wordpress God save you. lol
