I'm definitely biased toward Linux for everyday use.
Nevertheless I believe that it's possible (as long as using "outside packagesi" is allowed) for any of these platforms.
If you don't have what you want, OS X is probably the most limited in flexibility, but again source code is available for all of the platforms and binary images are available too.
Most of my professional career involved using Windows, but I actually began my career programming mainframe legacy development in PL/1, Cobol, and occasionally Fortran.
Once I moved to UNIX systems, C programs and shell scripts became the common toois. Moving to Linux was similar in experience to my early use of microcomputer systems and the first PCs.
I found a new sense of speed and enjoyment.
Windows hasn't stayed static. Many of the objections to the early systems have been improving, though Linux has more flexibility than the other systems, at the cost of a learning curve to figure out what makes sense for each person and environment.
So when we're honest there are features and limitations in each system and the choice to do what works best for both individuals and their employers is usually the deciding factor.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
