The Linuxes are the bestest IDEs ever. They even let you run mini IDEs (vim, vscode, etc) inside them. Coincidentally, they're also where a lot of server code gets deployed, so they're a a good place to verify fresh coffee.

I'm sure other platforms have caught up, but when I started out, *nix was the most accessible dev platform I could find.
