Popped into my head today.
What proportion of the D community develops on Linux of some
sort, and
what proportion works with a 64 bit OS?
I primarily use Ubuntu (Linux) 12.04 64bit. I'll update to
14.04 when
that comes out as i only install the LTS (long term support)
versions.
And why?
Because it the easiest platform to install and get my hands on
development tools. sudo apt-get install for the win!
I use MacOS 10.8.5 64bit at work and have done lots of D
development
there too. The big downside is lack of a package manager for
getting my
hands on GCC/GDB/libs etc.. Homebrew[1] helps but is no match
for apt.

Quick question, Just got a Mac, currently setting it up. You'd
recommend Brew over the alternatives? Sorry, rather new to
developing with this OS...
Yes use brew *not* macports. The reason is brew is more well
behaved where it installs libs and doesn't need root permissions.
