Probably should have allowed an option for *BSD. I suppose "other Unix variant" is sort of approximately the same thing, but the former would be more clear.
Actually, I'd be curious what Nix people are using other than GNU/Linux and BSD. Solaris? Unix proper - does anybody still really use that?
I am not from the valley and it is heart-warming to see Linux beat out OSX. Especially considering the number of mac books I have seen engineers carry about, the couple of times I have been there.
At work : Windows XP. Yes. Welcome to Japan.
Mac OS X only because I refuse to use Windows and I need Photoshop.

I tried GIMPing it under various Linux distros for a while but it's just not comparable.
At work, until a couple of months ago I was using Windows Server 2008. I'm looking for a new job, not entirely coincidentally.
The day is coming when Chrome, Firefox, Safari will be the poll options.
I highly doubt this. Not even tablets will run on top of browsers. Developers will never give up a real operating system. You just can't develop on consumer devices like the iPad; these are designed for consumers, they come with many limitations to make the consumer's experience easy and smooth, but at the cost of hackability.
I always hesitate to use the word never. Things can change very rapidly. What developers need now may not be anything like what we need in 5 years.
But more importantly, what a "real operating system" is will probably change in the next 5 years.
