So at Microsoft they develop on Linux machines? Interesting.

hell no. productivity would fall through the floor, switching jobs has given me an appreciation on how tight a ship they run, all the tools that are available to developer at MS beat sh!t out of anything out there that is open source, from profiling tools to debuggers to IDEs to compilers.
 
dont like vi
dont like emacs

like visual studio. but usually i just use ultraedit.

voted visual studio anyway.
 
Currently vi/vim on Linux. But I am considering making the switch to emacs.

As for Windows, I am using VS 6's IDE for any of the HTML, C++, Java and C# coding. At work I use VS .NET.
 
Seriously.. some people say VI VI VI at school, but most are just wannabee hackers. Don't get me wrong.. some people(very very few people) use it really well with all the shortcuts.

The truth is.. Emacs and MS Visual Studio and SitePad Pro (co-worker uses) is what's really used in the real world.
