For me the issue is really knowing that the programs I want will run on my computer. I work on linux all day every day. I have several terminals open at a time, but at home I have 4 computers. 2 laptops for my wife and I and 2 gaming rigs. I know that any game or software I want can run on them. I love linux, the command line and programming environment is so powerful and useful. But at the end of the day, I want to be able to install the software I want and most developers don't support linux.
Very true, all too many times have I been stuck trying to configure wine correctly until I gave up and moved over to a complete Windows environment with a few Linux-VMs for some minor things.
