From StackOverflow's 2015 Developer Survey [1]:
"For the third year in a row, we asked respondents which
operating system they use the most. Windows maintains the
lion's share of the developer operating system market, while
Mac appears to have overtaken the Linuxes among active Stack
Overflow devs.
Linux may be a small player on the consumer market, with just
1.5% of global desktop operating system share, but it's a
go-to OS for developers."
Interestingly, from the "Text editor" question we learn that
most used ones are "NotePad++" and "Sublime Text" (and not
Visual Studio) which I know are favs among webdevelopers that
are not used to IDEs (as debugging happens in web browsers).
This correlates with with "Most popular technologies" results
too.
To sum up:
Please give more attention to Windows developers like myself ;)

Poll has a windows bias due to stackoverflows focus on .NET,
which is extremely overrepresented on SO(see: redmonk)
Most of the enterprise developers are on Windows, even when
targeting UNIX, it is not only .NET.
Unless one is doing plain C or C++ with their bare bones runtime
libraries, there are plenty of languages that allow for such
workflow.
