Scheme rocks
Windows sucks
Black background rocks
Mac theme sucks (digital lifestyle)

To develop, you only need a text editor. If a language requires you to use more than that, it sucks. You just use the text editor with the most features you use, the least features you don't use, and better interface (as in standard keys, principle of least surprise, PCRE), which rules Eclipse (bloated enterpriseware), vi (shitty interface) and emacs (shitty interface) out. I recommend Kate on UNIX and PSPad on Windows or Wine. (Protip: PSPad takes less memory than Kate if you don't run KDE. Yes, even counting Wine. Yes, it's sad.)

Truth on UNIX, it's kind of an ugly hack of an OS. However, the alternatives are even uglier hacks, or bloated 90s enterprise bullshit. We need something with the simplicity of UNIX, the filesystem focus of Plan 9 (though I'd add indexable metadata and reverse hardlink indexes), the purity of Scheme, the size of MS-DOS (though I'm willing to sacrifice size for filesystem-related features), and the legacies of nothing (e.g. no 3284720389457 terminals and shitty keyboards which never work, no ancient irregular commands, no crappy shell, etc.).

Fact: you're a lame troll. Next time, you should spike your trolls with some truth, so that they irritate people.
