I have experience on both platforms and I would in any comparision choose 
Linux, my shell and any texteditor with syntaxhighlightning over ANY, and I 
mean ANY IDE I've ever tried.
In an IDE I need to grab for the mouse constantly, no matter what platrofrm 
and IDE I have ever tried, but with my console I never need to move my hand 
to that aggresive rodent.

All my search and replace is avaliable on the shell and they can be as 
extensive or simple as I want to. Since the shell in Unix has been around 
longer than Windows, I wouldn't say that Serg is as wrong as you mean, 
Stephen.
