My Mac-loving co-workers often ask me "why do you use a Windows laptop instead of a Macbook?" For me, I found that, much like Diane:
More: the last time I had to carry an Apple laptop, it was both more fragile than my HP and Dell laptops and, when it broke, was a lot more of a righteous pain in the ass to get serviced. Seriously: when I'm spending that kind of money for a computer and, especially, a service-contract, your repair-monkey ought to be coming to me, not forcing me to come to some mall to talk to a "genius".
On the plus side, things like Cygwin/X was good for making Windows an easy way to interact with remote UNIX and Linux hosts. And, if I wasn't having to do any low-level tasks in my code, I could even do shit locally/offline, and it would work when I pushed it to my development-targets.
The Metro interface is still godawful, but a bit less aggressively so than it was in Windows 8. So, there's that. But, yeah, the other, less Windowsy bits make it require a lot less in the way of "taming" just to get work done (and, unlike OSX, you can tame it).
In recent years I have worked with Linux as my base system (Ubuntu) for me it is excellent for programming purposes but in my country (Dominican Republic) Windows still predominates in companies and I have always had to adapt.
This year I have been using windows 10, I have noticed a great advance in the work environment but I feel that it can still improve more and I do not change Linux because I am still feeling much more productive in Ubuntu.
I agree with you regarding Linux and Windows Pro.
I use Manjaro Arch Linux... compared to the other Linux distributions I've tried this woks the best. Now when I want to connect to a printer (for instance) and use the scanner I use Ubuntu. Ubuntu in my humble opinion is better at talking to Windows oriented devices.
i am using linux for about 2 years and tried Linux mint,Manjaro,Kali linux untill I met Ubuntu.Since then I am using ubuntu as it is simple,fast and easy to use and suitable for my work of Web developement.
Besides it I rarely use windows 10 (don't like it so much due to its sluggishness.)

What you're basically asking is "what's your favorite hammer for driving a nail." The important bit isn't so much the hammer as how well the particular nail was driven by it.
So, my answer would have to be, "the OS that allows me to accomplish my task with the least amount of effort spent fighting against limitations of the OS (or my familiarity with it)".
Manjaro Linux, OSX :)
I think my browser monched something. I had had a complete thought in there, though I can't remember specifically what (so, nuked the stub).
Greh.
Yes, it could be, hahahahahaha
It's the whole Apple philosophy of "we know better than you how our hardware should be used" thing that grates me. I shouldn't feel like I'm being force to fight a damned tool - especially, I shouldn't have to be bridling against artificial constraints. Even at its worst, Windows had plenty of "escape hatches" to get around its more-annoying bits.
