I primarily use Ubuntu (Linux) 12.04 64bit. I'll update to 14.04 
when that comes out as i only install the LTS (long term support) 
versions.

Because it the easiest platform to install and get my hands on 
development tools. sudo apt-get install for the win!

I use MacOS 10.8.5 64bit at work and have done lots of D 
development there too. The big downside is lack of a package 
manager for getting my hands on GCC/GDB/libs etc.. Homebrew[1] 
helps but is no match for apt.
