Better late than never: making Linux the main development platform

Although I have been developing on Linux for many years, Windows has always been my primary development environment. Usually I develop first on Windows, and then test on Mac OSX and Linux. But recently as I started to get more into Docker, it has started to make more sense to develop on Linux first.

I have chosen RHEL 7.x as my main development platform. This is unusual choice I guess. The availability of the developer edition made it possible. I like that Red Hat makes available the latest versions of the programming languages via their developer tool sets. On Ubuntu I was always using older versions.
