I disagree, some things work better in some environments, others work better in
different environments.  One big thing for me is a fairly complex installation
of Thunderbird definitely works better in a Linux environment, which can be
kept clean and simple, without various antimalware products competing for the
CPU's attention, every time mail is scanned.  Thunderbird and Windows also
experience some odd focus changes that aren't commanded by the click of a
mouse.  No such issues on Linux.

On the other side, a lot of ham radio software still requires a Windoes OS. 
SOme will run under WINE, but not all of them will work that way.

Hmm, never had that issue at least, not yet.
