"Back in my university days, when Netscape was the latest web browser on the scene and the Pentium MMX was the power user's processor of choice, UNIX was part of my everyday life. Since graduating, my chosen desktop operating system has been Windows of some variety. This is partly because it was the most readily available consumer desktop operating system and also because it served me well for the most part." More here. In other Ubuntu news, Automatix2 for Feisty is released.

"I'm curious -- what is it you like about SQL Server?"
The most recent thing I can think of that I've run into is lack of linked servers in postgres. I worked on a fairly complex sql server/oracle site a few years back, and setting up/using a linked server was very nice. It would be great if postgres could do this natively. I understand that one can sort of hack this together using an odbc datasource, but that's not quite the same.
And yes, the admin utility is a big plus. That being said, I do think pgadmin3 is fabulous. There are a few areas where I still prefer sql server's admin tools (restoring from backups, scheduling, etc), but there's no question that it's a fantastic tool. MySQL Administrator is not remotely comparable.

I'm curious -- what is it you like about SQL Server? Is it the server itself, or simply the admin tool?
Also, as to the development environment, if you are doing .Net, then yeah, VS.Net is the way to go. Microsoft's language on Microsoft's tools on Microsoft's platform is the intended design. But, there are a number of excellent IDEs for other languages, such as NetBeans, KDevelop, Anjuta, Eclipse (although, I personally don't care for Eclipse), etc.
