It is really productive. In most cases free, and for developers who develop medium/small (or even Large) applications is the right tool. However, my experience in the last year has not been productive.
I've been using Linux Mint since 2014. I finished my degree and my master thesis using it and I am really proud of that (no one did that when I studied in the university). Even when I develope my personal projects or some enterprise project I prefered to use Linux rather than windows.
In this last year, while using eclipse and Visual studio code I have been experiencing a lot of problems (lag, freezings and so on) that I don't have the time right now to focus on solving them (via editing system files... ).
Last month I did the switch with Windows 10 and I am more confortable now.
From my point of view, It does not matter whether you are using Windows or Linux. Use the one that fits your needs the most. Of course, there are several things I miss from Linux (bash and theme customizations), but in the overall view I am happy with the change.
Dont get me wrong, I love open source software and collaborative work between developers, but right now I feel that Windows is my right tool.
