I mostly stopped using other operating systems a long time ago, so my impressions of them are partially ouit of date, but for my previous job I had to use a Mac for development, and lately I'm experimenting with Windows in some virtual machines in order to automate the setup of certain tools for Windows developers. In neither case have I seen some desktop environment feature and thought ‘Wow, I wish I had something like that on Linux!’.
