I think it depends a lot of what you're developing.

For a lot of open source stuff, even OSX is a 2nd class citizen, and windows isn't even considered. Of course, you can do everything in a VM, but that can have its own problems.

If you live out of Visual Studio, though, I'm sure the experience is nice.
