#52I use an ATIV Book 9 Plus ultrabook (13.3" LED QHD+ 3200 x 1800) as my main machine - the HiDPI screen is stunning and it is something I couldn't live without now.
Up until a week or so ago, my OS was GNU/Linux Debian Jessie, my DE was Cinnamon and/or i3wm (depending on how I felt).
A week ago I switched to Fedora 21 as I have to get back up to speed with RHEL for a work project. I am now using Gnome 3.14.2, and to be perfectly honest I am pleasantly surprised with the entire experience.
Development tools: vim, gcc, python, opera-beta.
Communication tools: utox and irc.
I also run another machine that sits on a different VLAN that I use for skype, the machine is locked down with SELinux and firewall rules both inside the machine and on the Ethernet switch and router, I also use this machine if i need to view any flash content.

#54OS: 10.10.3 Hardware: BTO 2012 rMBP 2.6 GHz i7, 16GB, 512GB Tools: Rails, Sublime Text 3, iTerm, Tower, (Spotify :D)
Was it worth it getting the 16GB of RAM? I'm thinking of getting the same myself.

#55Thinkpad x120e + Gentoo is the only development machine I run (still looking for a newer 12" thinkpad to replace this one). There is also ubuntu installed in the chroot (for android firmware builds) and a few docker containers with various OSes. In theory I can survive with any OS/platform, since my primary tools are tmux+vim+zsh. I use them for android development (Java, Kotlin), for web (JavaScript, Golang), for em…
> Thinkpad x120e + Gentoo
I can't imagine running gentoo on that computer. The compile times would drive me insane.

#56OS X 10.3.3 Mac mini (late 2012), MBP 13 (2014), at work imac 27 (2014) I use mainly vim with plugins (notably youcompleteme, syntastic, ctrlp) for programming in various languages. Python, C++, OCaml, Erlang, Go. I try to keep everything synchronized with unison and git. I like Mac OS because it works out of the box and I really hate spending time configuring things. But mostly, I'd be fine with any OS. The only thi…
Do you mean OS X 10.10.3?

#57Work:
OS: Windows 7+, Windows Server 2008+
Hardware: Consistently 4+ workstations and dev servers with varying specifications.
Tools: SQL Server 2008+, Visual Studio 2012 with tweaked VsVim. Powershell, Vim and Cygwin.
I work in BI consulting, so dev environments and workstations change with clients.
Home:
OS: Arch Linux
Hardware: 2008 Sony Vaio (Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz, 4G RAM, not as bad as it sounds - I have no reason to update this machine until the RAM goes).
I don't really do development at home - just trying to learn "real" programming. Vim, playing in Python, Lisps (Scheme and Common), and Haskell currently.

Hardware: Ideapad, Intel i7, 6Go RAM, graphic card geforce 840m
Tools: Intellij with Java, Visual Studio with C#, Sublime with everything web related
