Even the whole BASH/command-line thing has mostly been resolved. The cost of the OS itself? Not really a long-term factor. UX? Again, hardware, which is consistently cheaper for Windows. Speed? That's hardware-dependent and doesn't vary much. Stability and security? Not since Win7 and definitely not since 10. There's very little that Mac does better. Mac is also fine, but the cost:value isn't there unless you're a victim of brand vanity. When my company switched us to Win10 it was like a cool breeze blowing in. How hard is it to keep the taskbar icons for open windows on the correct monitor, or have the ability to bring multi-window apps to the foreground without multiple clicks? Much harder than I'd ever have guessed on Linux. I can't say how much time I've spent trying to get things working in Linux just so they weren't hindrances. I constantly hit snags that would've just worked in Windows or would've had easy, elegant solutions readily at hand. I say this after having worked on Linux (CentOS, Mint, Ubuntu 12+) for many years. Except for a few edge cases, there are no reasons why you'd need to be on Linux. Development is not done in isolation, and almost anything is easier in Windows than in Linux, from communication/collaboration to app window management to graphic design.
