Both have wonderful development tools. Linux's tools have historically been better at the CLI, while Windows excels at the GUI. Linux is very community driven and tends to adopt a philosophy of "put the best bits from the community together", which is great... when it works. Windows, on the other hand, prefers the approach of "build it and they will come", which is popular but far less flexible. Ultimately, finding where you work best is what matters - and now that all Windows supports Linux tooling, you don't have to live without your awk on a Windows box, if you don't want to.
