It is a perfectly reasonable choice to make. Yes, there are some elegant features in OSX and Linux that make life easier for webdev, but there is also a lot of software available on the Windows platform that is not available in OSX or Linux. For someone who uses Photoshop and Illustrator a lot, it is also the case that in the past decade, Adobe has put more focus on their Windows products than their Apple products. Many people report that Photoshop works faster on Windows than on OSX. I can't say either way, but I mainly wanted to point out that there are plenty of legitimate reasons why a well educated computer user would stick with Windows.

What does web integration mean in the first place? Windows is great for web development. Windows has much more available software, it's very easy to use and user friendly (unlike linux). And since most web development languages and packages are available for all platforms, there is no reason to prefer linux to windows, unless you are geek, prefer command line to easy, intuitive and efficient gui tools (like tortoiseSVN), and want to limit yourself in terms of available software, editors, etc that you could use.And a small rant: windows rules, linux sucks; svn rules, git sucks :) Ubuntu has more web integration?

Takes a bit of getting used to but the time invested in learning it is far made up for time having to re-work something when you overwrite it... another reason why version control is awesome.

I'm pretty tech savvy and I *hate* how difficult SNV is to set up, to branch, or to migrate. Git is easier for the average person to set up and move around because of less restrictions (though may be just a touch more complicated because it has many more features) They won't build any more tools lke SVN anymore, but they will build plenty more tools like Git.2) Why on earth would you be using Windows for web development? Seriously, invest in a Mac or spend the 12 minutes it takes to upgrade your computer to Ubuntu. Those platforms have a lot more web integration, that makes it fun and easy to do development work.
