First of all coding and scripting is integrating into/everything/. You can write a word processor with the same utility as you use as a shell (say bash). A C compiler and a C library is concidered part of the standard *nix system.
Everything can be automated, coded and scripted in one way or another. That is what makes *nix developer heaven.
Development and *nix goes hand in hand, it is like integrated into the very soul of *nix. Just look at man 2 and 3. System integrated documentation of every related API. You don't have to sign up for some DVD. It's just there when you need it.
I find myself much more productive in a Linux / Unix environment. Linux is just much more user friendly for me.
Amen to that.
I've already mentioned this earlier, but it's worth repeating: Windows is the development platform from hell.
The windows APIs are insane and completely impossible to understand. And there is no windows sources to read and to make sense out of. You either have the option to use C or C++ and try to make sense of a completely impossible API, or use VB, and put up with a rediculously childish language, or use.NET and put up with a freaky OOp language that rips of java.
Also there is no man-util in windows and the worst of them all: Windows isn't even POSIX compilant (hello, i thought we left those systems back in the 60's)
First of all, i'm a developer. And windows is the development os from hell. It doesent even come with a decent C compiler. The private devel community for windows is pretty much non-existant and it just sucks to write windows applications.
Next, i don't like viruses. And with windows all i need to do is jack in the ethernet cable to get at least 2 viruses.
Next, i like to brag about my uptime. My slackware box has > 1 year of uptime. My record in windows is ~ 2 weeks.
Next, i don't like the idea of not being able to read the sources of what i run.
Next, bill gates is evil and eats little children.
You don't program HTML. HTML is a markup language designed for text formatting, so spending weeks learning HTML when you want to learn how to program would be completely down the drain since HTML is not a programming language.

1, 2 & 5; the interface is clearly developed for mouse based window focus and multiple desktops. When you run the GIMP in this way things make sense. If you have an entire desktop dedicated to the GIMP the mult-window interface is really efficient, and the mouse-focus will eliminate alot of annoying clicking.

Kernel 2.4.26 Out

You can't alter the site just because some windows-scumbags start liking it. Instead, you make it render really bad in IE and lock up windows so that they need to start using a proper OS.
2.6 is alot bigger than 2.4, so if you are running on a slow computer, or perhaps a low-memory computer built into something (fridge or car?) you might want to use 2.4 or maybe 2.2
And we've always got the really conservative "in my days the kernel was 200 Kb of sourcecode"-people.
Tools like this would be around even if they were not developed in this public manner. Only this way we give the poor admins the ability to test their networks so that they don't have to learn the hard way that they needed to patch up their systems.

But HTML has NO programming concepts at all. No variables, no iterations, no functions no nothing!
Besides indentation and the fact that text can do more than be english it really doesent give anything.
Why VB? He'd have to pay humongous sums of money to buy it, when he can settle with a free BASIC compiler.

Could this be IBM's revenge against Microsoft for
ruining their world domination plans (http://www.ibm.com/software/os/warp/)?
Come on, they've gotta be a bit pissed.
And so a whole new generation of perverted games were written.
In case anyone didn't get offended:
France: Do you get french fries in your PC?
Sweden: Do you get meatballs in your PC?
Sweden again: Does Inga's hair get stuck in the CPU-fan?
India: Do you get curry in your PC?
Germany/Austria: Isn't it uncomfortable to sit in a computer chair with lederhosen(sp?)?
Scotland: Do you get whiskey in your PC?
USA: You lost the vietnam war. How often does war-cripples fall into your PC?

You see a small box on the floor.

The YRO zaps you and you immediately let go of it.
eh... better cut down on my MUD dosage.
Jay! Now i can know where i am without looking up from my games!
Well, why keep the pointer in a window you're not using? Alsom, most WMs give new windows focus automatically even if you use mouse-focus.
Mouse focus is like proper keyboard usage: It takes some time to get used to, but when you do, you will never go back.

If you have an entire desktop dedicated to the GIMP the mult-window interface is really efficient, and the mouse-focus will eliminate alot of annoying clicking.

Just a small GIMP-tip: If you enable mouse-based window focus the GIMP will be 7000 times more efficient.
Fallout would definetly work out.
But monkey island would be quite nice aswell.
However, what would beat PacMan - the movie?

Meet fred, the pink rabbit! He's going to teach your kids math!

Install Wine.
Run with nice -19.
Run everything though a spam filter.
???
Profit
-have multiple desktops, as many as you like
-unlimited customizability in appearance
-run multiple users in multiple X sessions on a single box
Don't tell anyone, but you can fix those on you Windoze box by installing XFree86 in cygwin

Then we'd have a green blob on the moon XD
