I also agree with this. Visual Studio is probably the most powerful IDE out there. Even Web IDE's (Dreamweaver, NVU, etc) are lacking in comparison to the power of Visual Studio. And I hate saying that because it's a MS product but you can't beat it.
And you're also right about the developer docs. MSDN.com has got to be one of the best online manuals next to the one Zend has for PHP.
Don't get me started on Borland's IDE's...
And the other reason I use windows is AutoCAD. Until Autodesk decides to develop for other OS's I kinda don't have a choice.
