I used a windows computer for development for 3 or 4 years and the conclusion I drew was that it isn't nearly as limiting as many mac or linux users portray it to be, although it did require quite a bit more work to get everything the way I needed it.

Overall, I think if you're looking for a machine solely for development, I'd go with linux. But since most people don't have the luxury of having a computer(or partition) for each task, I think that you can create a solid development environment on any OS that allows you to accomplish the supplementary tasks you use the computer for.

I agree, that's why I ended up with a Macbook. It had Adobe apps support, a easy to use operating system (I find it easier than Windows) and it's a Unix based environment.

I'm sure Windows 10 it's perfectly fine with a little bit of dedication.
