For me this is obvious. Perl programmers are usually using console a lot. Python programmers also. Java programmers at most not. Windows is lacking good console programs like for example grep (which I use a lot). Unix has a very good console software so in fact using Unixes helps a lot. Personally I use Ubuntu, maybe not exactly a kind of Unix, but Linux console is usefull too. Of course this just one of the reasons for using something other than Windows. For me this is also the quite nice lack of viruses.
Gabor made some nice poll asking Perl developers for the operating system they use. Results are available, but I made some graphs from that:
This was a kind of reply to another poll results where developers were asked (not only the Perl ones):
