Howdy,

I'm quite interested to know what you guys (well the developers and designers) code on? Do you use Windows, OS X or Linux?

I use Windows when I'm working on Oracle sites (for TOAD) but OS X usually.

Let us know!
 
Usually Linux with a Windows XP VM for testing and graphics apps. But I run dual-boot and have my Windows XP install setup to allow me to code if I happen to be booted into Windows; using an external SVN repo helps a great deal here. It doesn't really make a difference for working on web apps. At work, developing .NET, it's solely Windows XP.
 
For web apps i do it anywhere there's a text editor, i also have a tendency just to SSH to the server and edit live. I almost always use linux web servers (in LAMP style configuration) but it doesn't really matter, i like having a syntax highlighting editor - eg Vim or Notepad++ on windows.

For desktop apps, it's a Windows job - either XP or Vista, not for any particular reason, the tools run find on Server 2003 and Win 2000, i just don't that's all. (Codegear RAD Studio / C++ Builder). I run my own SVN server for personal stuff (on CentOS) at work its all under NetBSD.

I can also code command line stuff on Linux/Unix using gcc although i haven't had much call to do it.
