I didn't expect to see a 19% for Linux, probably mostly thanks to the LAMP-stack.

Using Ubuntu and MonoDevelop, I must admit that it doesn't come even close to Visual Studio in terms of productivity. Still looking for a decent WinForm-designer and an alternative to FxCop.

The laptop isn't modern enough to run both Windows and Visual Studio at the same time; it's slow even when only Windows is installed. It does fly with it's 1Gb of memory under Ubuntu, and that was enough reason to make the move.

Despite the lack of tools, I ain't moving back; Microsoft has a good reason to update it's UI from time to time, and I got a good reason not to. It's great to have full control over the environment that the app runs in, and it's doubly great if you can mention that it runs on any old machine that's available.

Still, even if your users are using Linux, it might be more productive to create apps under Windows using the VS-IDE.
