Used everything over the years. Settled on OSX for my personal computing needs a year before I began developing (learning, then professionally) so have stuck with that. Ubuntu Server for all my servers.
Like the idea of desktop Linux but as someone said in the comments here about WSL, (at least at the time I was using it before) it always "worked until it didn't", and that always seemed to be when a deadline was looming.
Intrigued by all the changes Microsoft's been making, but haven't had time to try using Windows to develop yet.
macOS is the best of all worlds... it just works, very solid. Like a strong, polished Linux distro without the occasional glaring UI inconsistencies. For coding, I'm just using VS Code/iTerm2 and the like, so I could switch to Linux without too much difficulty.
I still have to do enough collaboration with others using Office and other Microsoft products that being able to run the full gamut of Microsoft products as needed (without resorting to WINE) is useful.
And I currently support some legacy iOS apps, so I need macOS to code for those, too. But aiming to switch those over to PWAs or Flutter apps, so that requirement may fade away....
