Perhaps "the" tools are more convenient in your particular environment,
but not in mine.  Much as everyone should learn 5 languages to better
understand some smaller number, I think everyone should spend some time
using each of 5 operating systems as their "home" environment.

And only one of them should be some variant of "Unix" :-).
