Hi, I use to develop on all these platform. I'm somehow surprise that you find font rendering superb in windows, I'm always annoyed at how ugly they look in general compared to their Mac and Linux (new Distro) counterpart.
I switch sometime from Linux to OS X for my development needs. I use windows mostly at work. The things I hate about windows is how the system strip down, really bad CLI, no interpreted language, momoculture of Microsoft ecosystem. OS X and Linux are superb powerhouse, even if they are different like Christian said. The main reason I stay with and prefer OS X, is simply because the system works the closest of how I think. It's a productivity booster, expose + the dock + big icon + the finder. I find my way more efficiently and faster than on windows. I also manage multi task far more efficiently. Plus, one thing that keep me on OS X, is that I also run my own business and time is precious. With OS X I never have to manage things that aren't need to be manage. To the contrary of Linux (I used mainly Ubuntu and fedora) where there's is always something that need your attention. The problem is I like to play with it and I easily waist haft a day compiling/testing/submitting bug/ application that sometime will work and other time will not work. Also, I like Apple's hardware, small, noiseless, noplastik finish. On the server side, I use mainly linux, but also freebsd and solaris. I never had problem transferring my OS X stuff to one of these OSes. note: I never tried django on freebsd or solaris but for different project. But, if you like your XP system, maybe you should stick to it.
