    That all depends on the API that you chose. Personaly I have no preference to programming for windows or linux. I usualy cose to code underlinux because I like the way it handels things.
    For programming in linux I use emacs. As it can be a near total IDE, and I like the way it handels text editing. Much easier then playing with vi.

    For windows well I use Visual Studio.

    But again it all depends on what you want to do and who you are trying to attract to your program.

    Lmao.. Lets not start the vi/vim (#define VIM vi ) vs emacs war here.. I do use vim/vi at times.. But I just like some of the features that emacs provies, that I have not found in vi/vim.
    Like choice of shells and editors are totaly personal choices, and also the starts of many flame wars.

    They both are good, just for coding I use emacs.
