I'm using both, Linux and Windows, but I prefer working on
Windows (I don't have X on my Linux installation, and it's not
very cozy to spend all day in console). On Windows I have MSYS +
Console2 setup, so I basically have nice looking (and more
importantly functional) Linux console on my Windows.
Oh, and yes, git (msysgit actually) is working great on Windows
(just a bit slower than Linux version, but still faster than svn).
