Not only the base Unix underpinnings, but the sheer lack of support tools on Windows vs. Mac is frustrating. - network problems? just try a quick curl (not on Windows) - did a file transfer properly? do a quick md5 hash (not on Windows) - need to do some quick data manipulation? write a quick Perl, Python, or Ruby script (not on Windows) - connect to one of our remote servers? bring up terminal and ssh (not on Windows) - move files around with sftp (not on Windows) - remove all files in a directory tree older than 60 days? bring up terminal and do a quick find... -delete. (not on Windows). - etc, etc, etc. Yes, all these tools can be installed on Windows, but they are on every Mac by default.
