I hate to be a bit obtuse. However, I wanted to gather people's thoughts on using Linux as a web development/design platform.

Are there any users out there that have used Linux and/or Windows in this capacity?

If so, what web dev/design tools for Linux do you find helpful and/or comparable to Windows-based applications (outside of GIMP, Apache, MySQL, LDAP and PHP-Eclipse, of course)?

Finally, if your user requirements for a website gave you the choice of either Mono or PHP, which would you pick and why?

Thanks in advance!
