What is your deployment target? Match the development environment to the target
If it's for browsers, you have much more freedom to choose between the three, but in most cases you're choosing between Windows and Linux for server-based projects, depending on what the production system is using
If you want to automate build and deployment, your ops colleagues may yet push for Linux on the server side - so your tools will need to either be cross-platform, or match that tooling's platform. They won't thank you for tying them to a full-GUI-based build toolchain (but those are thankly becoming rare)
If you're also responsible for testing, and you are doing client-side stuff.... mind that you will likely end up with at least two computers, if not three, for full range testing (unless you can do it on a server farm/cloud account)
