Well then

Between the two?

I guess they are both great
But, here's how I see it, all in a nutshell

I've developed on both platforms, win a few, lose a few.
The difference I see is this............

The old command line function seems to always win the day so far as stabilty in the Linux Plaform is concerned... Not only is it much more stable, but, it is much more secure as well. Linux hasn't had the attention that Windows has had over the years from all of the virus writers ......Linux? Reminds me of an old 1963 Dodge truck. You can bang it up and yet the old engine just keeps humming right along.

Windows? Now there's a diamond studded poodle walking down 5th Avenue if I ever saw one. My impression of Windows is such that, it doesn't come close to being the old rag tag Dadge truck from a few sentences ago, no, rather it's more like a Farrari.....Goes good until it brakes, expensive to fix and you wouldn't dare take it off road.........But all in all, it is a good product. I just prefer something that I can bang around a bit
