The operating systems we use reflect our experience, the culture we work in, and our general level of privelge, but I'm curious if you have a favorite OS to work on as a developer, and if so why.

Like most developers on the west coast of the United States, I use a work-provided MacBook for most of my development. I'm slowly working on moving my streaming to a beefy Windows PC but I find learning a new OS stressful and I've been writing and running code in OSX for 10 years, it's hard to imagine changing now. But that's just me, and I know my background affects my choice much more than OSX actually being 'better' in any quantifiable way!
