How sure are you even with statistics...

On my work half the developers are on Mac, the other half are on 
Windows. There is not a single Linux system. From the windows 
developers 2 use "bash" on Windows regularly.

Most firms i have been its always a mix of Windows and Macs. The 
few Linux guy are die hard fresh from school guys, that are 
insisted on there Linux system. What some may consider "Ultra 
Geeks". :-)

It all depends on how you define development. For web development 
the target is Linux but the development environment is often 
Windows. So what is the correct a statistical target?

The best view is to see what is going on around one self and its 
mostly Windows/Mac with Linux deployment/testing for both 
systems. Windows Bash making that task more easy for the Windows 
guys.
